Art & fact shop Almaty
Nostalgia curated with love
In the center of Almaty, behind a modest door, hides Art & Fact Shop — a vintage store that feels more like a personal archive. The kind of place where every object seems to carry a memory, and nothing feels mass-produced.
You’ll find shelves of old books, vintage electronics, rare posters, Soviet pins, handbags, postcards, knitwear, and even fur coats — all sharing the same quiet charm. The shop is small, a bit chaotic, and absolutely heartfelt. You can tell it was put together by people who love what they’re doing — and who love Almaty. Every corner feels like a tribute to the city’s past lives.
The vibe is peaceful, almost homey. No pushy sellers, no music blaring — just the soft sound of people browsing, flipping through books, holding up an old camera or a brooch. I bought a tiny keychain, but honestly, I wanted to stay longer just to look around.
Art & Fact Shop is one of those places you don’t plan to visit — you just end up there. And then return.
