The permanent exhibition «Work for the Hands – Joy for the Soul» opened at the East Kazakhstan Region Museum-Reserve. Dedicated to the traditional weaving of Russian peasants in the Southwestern Altai region in the mid-19th and mid-20th centuries, the exhibition explores all stages of the homespun cloth production process. It features over 200 exhibits from the museum-reserve's collections, collected from villages and towns across the East Kazakhstan Region: a variety of weaving tools, towels, belts, pieces of canvas, tablecloths, as well as paintings, drawings, and photographs, giving visitors a visual insight into all the intricacies of the labor-intensive fabric production process. The exhibition opening was graced by the folk ensemble «Bastenki» and dombra player Kuanysh Oralbaev.
