In the lead-up to Abai Day, celebrated on August 10, the Abylkhan Kasteyev National Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan hosted an educational quest, "Abai's Path of Wisdom."
Young participants learned about the life and creative legacy of the great poet and thinker through works of Kazakh art. In the museum's exhibition halls, children were shown "Portrait of Young Abai" by Abylkhan Kasteyev, "Portrait of Abai" by Sarsenbay Beisenbayev, and the painting "Abai. The Thinker" by Tokbolat Togysbayev.
Each work became part of an interactive route revealing the image of Abai, his worldview, and his significance to national culture.
During the quest, children completed tasks testing their knowledge of the poet's biography, his poems, and "Words of Edification," answered questions, and learned about the key ideas of his legacy. The educational format combined literature and fine art, helping young visitors gain a fresh perspective on Abai's legacy and expand their knowledge of Kazakhstan's history and spiritual culture.
