The second hall has some interesting documents – “Telegram” to the Steppe Governor from Baitursynuly’s wife Alexandra Ivanovna (sent on August 5, 1909) and questionnaires filled in manually by A.Baitursynuly himself from the times when he was a statesman. In them he wrote down his birth date – September 5, 1872. The autobiography was filled in by hand by the scientist himself when he was a professor of the Kazakh State University.

There is more of valuable exhibits, like poet’s personal belongings: a pen case, a stamp, a seal, and an ink-pot. All of those things were presented to the museum by Samat Bektemisov – Ahmet Baitursynuly’s nephew.

The exposition has a model of a book “History of Culture” published in 1926. The book is divided into three parts. At that time the book was prohibited by the Bolshevik censorship. The model is a replica of scientist’s last book, as the original did not preserve to our days.

The third hall is called “The Victim of Political Repressions”. A great scientist and a citizen who devoted all of his life to native language, history and culture of the Kazakh people was convicted and repressed.
