Historical-ethnographic, cultural and entertainment complex «Kazak alemi» is the ensemble exposition under the open sky revealing the peculiarities of the unique civilizational system which was formed for thousands of years on the territory of Kazakhstan. These are all kinds of amusements that carry both entertaining and informative functions.
All main periods of people’s development since the Bronze Age are reflected in the open composition. It allowed visitors to feel the historical continuity of life on the territory of Kazakhstan.
The main idea in the planning of the complex was an interweaving of historical authenticity (yurts, household items) with modern style constructions (stages, pavilions, tents and leisure-time entertainment). The unity of these two directions should help to create a visible image of the steppe culture.

The composition created from a spear, a shield and a flag created an atmosphere of simplicity and determination upward. «El-production» JSC carried out all organization work on the complex «Kazak alemi».
