A photo exhibition, Kazakhstan – a country of the Great Steppe, featuring the amazing nature scenery of the republic has opened in Nikolskaya Street next to the Metro Station Revolution Square.
The exhibition includes 60 striking photos and 4 information stands featuring the amazing natural wonders of Kazakhstan: its boundless steppes, mountains, lakes, forests and deserts. In addition, the works of photographers also tell the story of Astana and Almaty, the country’s two major cities.
“In preparation for the exhibition our chief photographer Andrey Kamenev spent a month in Kazakhstan and saw what I think was only a tiny fraction of what there is to see in this beautiful country. I hope that what he saw was enough to surprise you, to make you feel and see how beautiful this country is and what an exciting tourist destination it is,” says Andrey Palamarchuk, Chief Editor of the National Geographic Magazine Russia at the official opening ceremony.
Djamilya Nurkalieva, who represents the Astana EXPO – 2017 national company, pointed out in her turn that an exhibition in such a stunning historic location in Moscow will give an insight to its visitors into the culture of Kazakhstan and its tourist opportunities.
“We hope to see you all at our EXPO Exhibition in 2017. We are planning around three thousand cultural and entertainment events and topical conferences. Tickets for the EXPO – 2017 Exhibition in Astana can already be purchased online,” said Deputy Head of the Department of Marketing, Promotion and Tourism of the national company Astana EXPO-2017 D.
