The Saken Seifullin Museum is a museum dedicated to the life and work of the Kazakh statesman, writer, playwright, teacher and poet. The museum was opened on January 21, 1988 on the basis of Decree No. 12-R of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Kazakh SSR N.A. Nazarbayev. 

The Saken Seifullin Museum is located in a building of a sample of wooden architecture of the late nineteenth century. 

The house was built in 1846 by one of the representatives of the merchant class of Akmolinsk as an office for keeping records of purchased goods. In the 1920s and 1930s, the founder of modern Kazakh literature Saken Seifullin worked in the building. That is why this place has a special significance for our country. Until 1988, the building housed a kindergarten.

The second building is the administrative house of the museum. It was the house of the doctor of Blagoveshchensk Fyodor Ivanovich, where he lived and received patients for about 40 years. The building is also a monument of wooden architecture of the late XIX – early XX centuries, made in the eclectic style, characteristic of that time. Once it housed a school of accountants, and today it is the administration of the Saken Seifullin Museum.

The exposition of the Saken Seifullin Museum is located in six halls and includes more than 7 thousand items. These are mainly personal belongings of the writer, books, photographs, letters, manuscripts, archival documents, as well as paintings and sculptures dedicated to the life and work of Saken Seifullin.
