The M.O. Auezov Institute of Literature and Art was established in 1934 and originates from the Kazakh National Cultural Research Institute, which was involved in the study of history, archaeology, language, literature, folklore, visual arts, music, theater, and choreography. In 1936, the Kazakh Language and Literature and Folk Creativity Sector was established at the Kazakh branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Starting from 1941, this sector was integrated into the Institute of History, Language, and Literature, and in 1945, it was reorganized into the Institute of Language and Literature. In May 1961, this institute was separated as the Institute of Literature and Art of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR. In August of the same year, the institute was named after M.O. Auezov. In November 1963, the M.O. Auezov Literary Memorial Museum and a scientific department focused on studying the writer\u2019s legacy were established within the institute.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 1993, the translation and scientific commentary of the ancient Turkic language text «Divani Hikmet» by the great poet and philosopher of the 12th century, A. Yassawi, was first undertaken.<\/p>

Alash.
