Tourist Information
The Abai Museum in Zhidebai was opened in 1945, immediately after the victory of our people in World War II, as a branch of the Semipalatinsk Museum of Abai. The museum features exhibits of great ethnographic interest, which will introduce you to the era of the legendary poet and musician Abai Kunanbayev.
In the museum you will see a pen and inkwell with which the poet Abai wrote his poems, a dombra on which he played his melodies, and the poet's car. Of the poet's furniture, only Dilda's bed, inlaid with bone, has been preserved. In the 30s, all the furniture was stolen or disappeared, and only this bed remained. It is said that the bed was still decorated with gold and diamonds, which were also not preserved, presumably the bed was looted, diamonds and gold were stolen.
