Kazakhstan has made significant achievements in sport, which added our country significance and recognition in the world of sports. An example of this is the holding of the XXVIII World Winter Universiade.
The purpose of the exhibition is to show the history of sport in Kazakhstan, including the traditional ones on the basis of the museum collection.

During the years of independence Kazakhstani sportsmen have made a significant contribution to the development of both national and international sport, they took part in twelve Olympic Games and won 20 gold, 25 silver and 31 bronze medals. The names of the athletes as Yuri Melnichenko Alexander Parygin, Vassiliy Zhirov, Bekzat Sattarkhanov, Yermakhan Ibraimov, Olga Shishigina, Bakhtiyar Artaev, Bakhyt Sarsekbaev were forever inscribed in the Kazakhstan's history. Our famous skier Vladimir Smirnov, and biathlete, participant of the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, three-time champion of Europe Elena Khrustalyova were participants of the winter sport.
