Musrepov (Kazakh: С.Мұқанов пен Ғ.Мүсреповтің әдеби-мемориалдық музей кешені, romanized: S.Mūqanov pen Ğ.Müsrepovtıñ ädebi-memorialdyq muzei keşenı, Russian: Государственный литературно-мемориальный музейный комплекс С. Муканова и Г. Мусрепова, tr. gosudarstvennyi literaturmo-memorialnyi muzeinyi kompleks) is a memorial museum in Almaty, Kazakhstan, located in the house where Gabit Musrepov and Sabit Mukanov lived.
The S. Mukanov Literary and Memorial Museum was opened in 1978 at the initiative of Hakim Bekishev, a family friend. Under his leadership in 1976 was the beginning of the exposition of the museum, which was created by the creative team of artist-restorer Shamil Kozhakhanov. The work continued for two years and on 21 November 1978 the opening ceremony of the writer's house-museum took place. In the same year a memorial plaque by sculptor Toktagazy Dzhanyzbekbekov was installed on the house where Sabit Mukanov lived.[1]
In 1989, the creative team headed by Beket Musrepov, a member of the Union of Designers of the Republic of Kazakhstan, made a re-exposition in the museum.[2]
In 1987, in the same house was created a memorial house-museum of G. Musrepov. The writer's daughter Engelina Musrepova became the founder of the museum.[2]
The State Literary and Memorial Museum Complex of Sabit Mukanov and Gabit Musrepov was established on 8 February 1999 on the basis of the two existing museums of S. Mukanov and G. Musrepov.[3]
