Detail: A deep dive into mythical and mysterious landscapes to explore five masterpieces and a five-millenium history.

Land of the Golden Man and the great kurgans, Kazakhstan is a country of legends on the edge of the steppes of Central Asia. Its vast landscape, across which a web of silk routes once stretched, is steeped in rich cultural and human history. With Kazakhstan, Treasures of the Great Steppe, Guimet sheds light on moments that have marked this civilisation through five unique cultural stories, dating from third century BCE to the 18th century. Thanks to exceptional loans from prominent Kazakh museums, these treasures — including the original headdress from the emblematic Golden Man — are presented in a poetic and innovative exhibition which plunges the objects and visitors into the extraordinary landscapes of Kazakhstan.
