On July 18–19, 2024, the Republican State Enterprise “State Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve ‘Botai’” of the Committee of Culture of the Ministry of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan participated in the specialized exhibition “Kazakhstan Field Day ‘Jańa Dala / Green Day 2024’” held on the demonstration fields of Akkol District, Akmola Region. At this event, the “Botai” museum-reserve presented a yurt exhibition featuring unique artifacts of the Botai culture and archaeological finds. The exhibition was visited by the Minister of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Aidarbek Saparov, and the Akim of Akmola Region, Marat Muratovich Akhmetzhanov.
The main subject of the event was the demonstration of modern agricultural equipment and machinery, as well as the establishment of business contacts. At the same time, agriculture is closely connected with the development of other sectors of the economy, business, investment attraction, tourism, and national culture. The early representatives of the Botai culture were also proto-agricultural communities engaged in hunting and fishing, producing tools, manufacturing fermented dairy products, and domesticating and breeding horses. Therefore, the exhibition of the historical and cultural heritage of the Botai culture aroused significant interest among visitors to the event.
