Land of the Golden Man and the great kurgans, Kazakhstan is a country of legends on the edge of the steppes of Central Asia. Its vast landscape, across which a web of silk routes once stretched, is steeped in rich cultural and human history. This exhibition sheds light on moments that have marked this civilisation through five unique cultural stories, dating from third century BC to the 18th century, showcasing exceptional loans from prominent Kazakh museums—including the original headdress from the emblematic Golden Man—which are presented in a poetic and innovative exhibition that plunges the objects and visitors into the extraordinary landscapes of Kazakhstan.
