Fine Arts Museum

The collection here, one of the country's best, covers Kazakh, Russian and Western European art from the 16th century onwards, including a not-to-be-missed Rembrandt etching and landscapes, portraits and still-life paintings by top 19th-century Russians such as Levitan, Kramskoy and Kiselev. There's an engaging contemporary-art section and temporary exhibitions include works by up-and-coming local artists.
