Palace of Independence

The rather squat Palace of Independence is well worth a visit especially for its huge scale model of how Nur-Sultan is planned to look in 2030. It also holds an interesting ethnographic hall which stages temporary exhibitions, such as one featuring the psychedelic art of Bakhtybek Talkambayev. English-language tours are available if you call in advance.
