The museum fund is filled with new exhibits

The beginning of 2016 has begun with new news. The State Historical and Cultural Reserve-Museum "Berel" has been replenished with 270 exhibits (exhibits). The exhibits of excavations dating back to the years 1998-1999 have been exhibited up to date. The exhibits are good, medium and poorly preserved. The exhibits were transferred from the branch of the Institute of Archeology named after A.Kh.Margulan in Astana for temporary storage. We hope that the museum will be replenished with relics and we hope that these exhibits will be kept in the museum for a short period of time. If the exhibits from the excavations continue to be found in the museum, then the light would be bright.
