On June 2, 2026, the Kostanay Regional Museum of History and Local Lore held the grand opening of a solo exhibition of renowned Kazakhstani artist and member of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Nurbek Zhardemov, from Uralsk.

The exhibition includes 45 iconic paintings reflecting various periods of the artist's creative journey. The exhibition is conceptually divided into four thematic sections, each revealing a facet of the artist's complex philosophical world: "Historical" (a gallery of images of prominent historical figures); "Nature" (picturesque landscapes conveying the spirit of the Urals); "Everyday Relationships" (genre scenes and sketches from life); "Philosophy of Life" (the central part of the exhibition, consisting of 34 works in the artist's unique stylistic composition).

The solo exhibition "AQJAIYQ ÓLKEM" ("Ақжайық өлкем") will run for a month.
