history
The establishment of the museum was decided by the government of the Kazakh SSR on August 1, 1980. The museum opened on April 24, 1981 as the Republican Museum of Folk Musical Instruments. Initially, the museum was located in an old two-story building at the intersection of Panfilow Prospect and Schibek-Scholy-Strasse. In 1983, in view of the building's limited exhibition space, Dinmuchamed Kunayev commissioned the Deputy Minister of Culture of the Kazakh SSR to find a new location. So the museum moved to the current building at Park der 28 Panfilowzy .
On March 11, 1990, it was decided to name the museum in honor of the Kazakh folk composer Yqylas Dükenuly . The museum was renovated in 2012 and 2013. Not only was the appearance of the exhibitions changed, the concept of the museum was also revised. On May 15, 2013, the Museum of Folk Musical Instruments reopened.
