Secondly , the discourse of national demands runs through the content and approach of two of the museums , ALZHIR and Shymkent . This can be seen in the abundance of spaces devoted to national history events that predate the political repression of the 1930s through to the 1950s . This approach somewhat blurs the museum ’ s subject matter and thus the endeavours to remember the political repressions of this period .
Last but not least , we should also draw attention to the quality and well-maintained facilities of the three museums . Their accessibility , both in terms of the options for getting there and the price of admission , should also be underlined . The same applies to the availability of information on the exhibitions , which are in Kazakh , Russian and English ( with the exception of the Shymkent Museum ), as well as the availability of audio-guide and guide services , also in English . This might be surprising given the low number of visitors , another issue that would be worth investigating .
