ABSTRACT. The article addresses the issue of promoting the historical and cultural heritage accumulated over many years through the creation of an exhibition within a museum space, aimed at implementing certain results of a scientific research project, the main priorities of which include the use of a modern and sought-after format. As part of the research project “Life in Motion: The Cultural Code of the Kazakh Steppe Civilization” (No. BR22082508, Project Leader: A. G. Ibrayeva), the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan organized the exhibition “Kazakhstan: Treasure of the Great Steppe” in November 2024 at the National Museum of Asian Arts — Guimet (Paris, France). The exhibition was created in an immersive format, utilizing advanced multimedia technologies. The article examines the theoretical and methodological approaches to the creation of an immersive exhibition, based on both domestic and international experience. It analyzes the objectives and outcomes of organizing the exhibition at the international level, with particular attention paid to the historical and civilizational foundations of the centuries-long development of Kazakh statehood, the continuity, and the uniqueness of the cultural code of the Kazakh people. The article also considers the stages of organizing the exhibition, its conceptual essence, underlying principles, and modern, innovative approaches to presenting the exhibited artifacts to an international audience.
