The EXPO heritage / Objects / Nur Alem
Dear guests, welcome to Museum of Future Energy Nur Alem!
The most significant tourist object of the EXPO-2017 after-exhibition heritage is the Nur Alem pavilion-museum. It is remarkable that this new symbol of our capital Astana was mostly referred to by international mass media. The Future Energy Museum became the same symbolic sign of Kazakhstan as the Eiffel Tower for Paris and the Crystal Castle for London, etc.
Presently, the Nur Alem is the mostly visited tourist’s objects. The residents and guests of Astana get the possibility both to have fun and to enrich them with unique knowledge concerning the energy, its sources and ways it is used. We should also add that the Nur Alem complex was recognized as special guarded national architectural object in November.
