Greetings from Kazakhstan!
It was a pleasure to read an article which made me wish to visit the museum with my daughter who is at the age when I was there for the first time (10-11 y.o.) and to feel it’s atmosphere once again.
It’s incredible how small the world may seem sometimes when we encounter coincidences such as similar chairs that connect such faraway countries!
I would like to thank Ms.Bjerkander Handberg and express my appreciation for not only trying to trace the history of these chairs all the way to Kazakhstan, but thoroughly studying Saken Seifullin’s life and his place in the country’s history.
