Client brief
The West Kazakhstan Regional History and Local Lore Museum was founded in 1836, making it one of the oldest museums in Kazakhstan. It is housed in an architectural landmark built in 1879 in the Moorish style, which once served as a Russian-Kazakh vocational school. Today the museum holds over 100,000 exhibits. Its structure includes 8 thematic halls — from the Paleolithic era to Independence — along with an extensive network of branches: the A.S. Pushkin Museum, the artist S. Gumarov Museum, the Museum of Nature and Ecology, the Rukhani Zhangyru Museum, the D. Nurpeisova Museum in Zhangala District, the Syrym Datov Museum, and others.
We built the website and have been maintaining it ever since. It is one of our long-term projects.
We developed a bilingual website with the full structure expected of a major museum institution: history, exhibitions, branches, news, public events, guestbook, and contacts. We implemented a virtual tour of the museum halls and a stereo gallery — technically non-trivial solutions that were important to the client. We configured SEO with verification in Google and Yandex. The site is updated regularly: the museum is active, events happen frequently, and all of it is reflected on the website.
