​   In the history of national applied arts, two closely related crafts — jewelry making and blacksmithing — hold a special place. The origins of these crafts go back to ancient times, as gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, and other metals were mined on the territory of Kazakhstan since antiquity. Archaeological research has confirmed that tools, ornaments, and various household items were produced from these metals through forging, casting, and molding. 
    The exhibition features the tools and works of jewelers and blacksmiths from the Otyrar region of the 19th–20th centuries — Tegis, his son Aryn Tegisuly, Syzdyk, his son Nadayymbek Syzdykuly, as well as Kaldayak (Enapiya), the father of Shamshi Kaldayakov, and other craftsmen trained by these masters. Visitors can see their working tools, a variety of jewelry pieces, and everyday household items created using different techniques of artistic metal processing — forging, casting, embossing, molding, engraving, blackening, enameling, edge ornamentation, granulation, silver plating, gilding of iron, and other methods. In addition, the exhibition includes dioramas depicting jewelry and blacksmith workshops.
