Akhmet Baitursynov Home Museum (Kazakh: Ахмет Байтұрсынұлы мұражай-үйі, romanized: Ahmet Baitūrsynūly mūrajai-üiı, Russian: Дом-музей Байтурсынова, tr. dom muzei baitursynova) is a memorial museum of Akhmet Baitursynov in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Museum is located in the house where he lived in 1934–1937.[1]
Ahmet Baitursynov and his family lived in the Zubov house in 1934–1937. After the rehabilitation of the former Alash Orda government in 1988, the house was recognized as a historical and architectural monument and in 1993 a memorial house-museum was opened.[2]
The museum exposition occupies three rooms - the former dining room, the children's room and the office of the head of the family. In the two largest and brightest rooms there are originals and photocopies of documents and photos, telling about Baitursynov's family, his friends and associates. The exhibits in the third room, small and dark, are very few; they tell about his arrest and execution.[3]
