As well as similar establishments which are engaged in collecting and storing of historical monuments and works of art, it is a calling card of Almaty, one of its cultural sights. The building of the museum is also a historical and architectural monument of Kazakhstan. It is a sample of wooden architecture of the public buildings of Verniy in early twentieth century, built in 1908, by the famous architect Zenkov A.P.

It was carried out a large-scale reconstruction in 2012 within the Year of culture.
