Baiseitov Street, going down from the Independence Monument, leads to the Russian Theater of Drama named after Michael Lermontov.

Every day but Mondays, the theater runs Russian language plays on its major and minor stages. The Tengri-Umai gallery occupies the foyer of the theater. Every Monday the gallery holds presentations of modern local artists’ works. The gallery’s collection of a little more than 300 items is a small but representative sample of today’s local art including paintings, graphics and sculpture. A theater museum and a souvenir shop also make the theater worth visiting.
