The museum was opened on the eve of Tlendiyev's 90th anniversary, and on the eve of International Museum Day in 2014.[1] The museum is located in the historic center of the city, in a residential building, where the composer and his family lived for the last years of his life. The opening of the museum complex was attended by former akim of Almaty, Akhmetzhan Yessimov. The total area of the memorial museum is 169 square meters.[2]
