A fantastic museum in a brilliant setting. Very informative and a huge amount to see, from full size planes and tanks to a wide array of guns on display, medals and other assorted items. I'd recommend planning for a bare minimum of 2 hours as a visit to take it all in.

Very interesting. I was there in January 2023 and can only recommend it. Regards from Germany

I have been to many war museums, and this was a unique experience. To see from the point of view of soldier's and civilians living in those times is humbling. The presentation of this museum is immaculate, and English speaker friendly.

Dramatic but at the same time cool museum to visit. Such a must for kids and the young. Photos and videos are allowed though no one speaks English or even smiles a bit 🤔not very helpful staff

In depth display of the grave impact of the Great Patriotic War (WW 2) on Belarus. Tanks, weapons, dioramas, photographs, and many items in countless display cases. Unusual in that the collection began in 1942, during the war, which adds to its comprehensive nature You will leave enlightened if not more than a little sad at the atrocities committed during the war. A must see museum in Minsk.

Very good museum. Huge. There is something to see. Thank you for saving and showing our history. Unfortunately, this is no longer available in Ukraine. I definitely recommend everyone to visit!

A school parade was on close by, the patriotic music loud and the flags, held by each of the school kids, fluttering in the wind. A lovely backdrop on an excellent museum. The museum is new and expansive that takes the tourist through Belarus in the Second World War. There is everything from dioramas to weapons and even a few tanks. All material is in English and very extensive at that. The addition of an exhibit about “the raping of nanjing”, the Japanese army’s cruelty inflicted on the Japanese was brutal and fascinating.

Excellent museum! Very new and modern look that shows WWII in nice detail and from the perspective of the Belarusian people. Also very nice to see the entire! facility wheelchair accessible! Definitely place this on your Minsk itinerary!

One of the best museums for Soviet WW2 awards I have ever been to. The rest is pretty good as well but the awards and story's behind them is the biggest part and well worth visiting just for them.

My love brought me here in my visit to Minsk, Belarus and it really opened my eyes that no matter if we are American or Belarusian we all honor our heroes, soldiers, citizens and will fight for what we believe in! Humanity is a gift and we need to cherish it more often and not focus on hate and our differences!

(Translated by Google) We were at the New Year's performance with children "Flight to the New Year". The children especially liked the gifts))) After the performance, they walked around the museum, looked. It would be more interesting with a guide. The youngest son (3.6 years old) liked the exposition where surgeons perform an operation, and another one where a huge carriage went off the rails. In general, all the exhibitions are interesting and realistic, as if real people were sitting. The eldest son liked tanks and aircraft. (Original) Были на новогоднем представлении с детьми "Полёт в новый год". Детям особенно понравились подарки))) После представления ходили по музею, смотрели. Интереснее было бы с экскурсоводом. Младшему сыну (3,6 года) понравилась экспозиция, где хирурги делают операцию, и другая- где вагон огромный с рельсов сошёл. Вообще все экспозиции интересные и реалистичные, как будто живые люди сидят. Старшему сыну понравились танки и самолёты.

(Translated by Google) I visited the museum a year ago and am still impressed. If you are interested or want to learn more about the events of the Second World War, then you are here. The museum surprises with its size, a large number of various equipment, documents and other exhibits. If you want to gain knowledge about one of the bloodiest wars, then a visit to this museum will be for you here. (Original) Посещала музей год назад, до сих пор нахожусь под впечатлением. Если вы интересуетесь или хотите узнать поподробнее об событиях ВОВ, то вам сюда. Музей удивляет своими размерами, большим количеством различной техники, документов и иных экспонатов. Если вы хотите получить знания об одной самых кровопролитных войн, то посещение этого музея будет для вас сюда.

Interesting museum about the history of world war 2 starting from 1941. Fair amount of military weapons, tanks, trucks, interesting history finishing with the victory. Lots of memorabilia and war stories. Cost of entrance and audioguide 14 Rubles (about 7 euro).

Rating this place is difficult. On the one hand it's quite big and filled with objects and replicas (a lot of weapons) from the war, displayed skillfully and with comprehensive information in Russian, Belarussian and English. On the other hand there are some big objectivity issues and the facts need to be reevalued and updated. Definitely worth a visit.

a must visit, great display. after visiting such places, you are even more proud of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers

(Translated by Google) It's scary here (Original) Тут страшно

Wonderful

(Translated by Google) Nothing interesting (Original) Ничего интересного

(Translated by Google) A place where every Belarusian should visit. (Original) Место, где должен побывать каждый белорус.

(Translated by Google) The weapon is in working order and the ammunition is tolerable, it doesn't go crazy, for the revolution it's (Original) Оружие в рабочем состоянии и боеприпасы сносные, ни чё не клинит, для революции самое то

It is beautiful place and every one come to Minsk should go to this place , but there is one problem that all Identification panels in Russian language , they should add the English language for the visitor that came from another country

The attitude of one of the employees is terrible, she just didn’t want to let us into the hall, we heard reproaches about our appearance and heard that next time we’ll pay a fine

I'm planning to travel there soon from Turkey and is there anyone who can give me advice on other places?

(Translated by Google) The museum itself was certainly impressive, but I think it was a big mistake to take the services of a guide. We flew around the museum nowhere to stop and examine the exposition. And I have not heard anything new and interesting. It would be better if I spent time looking at the exhibits. (Original) Сам музей конечно впечатлил, но я считаю большой ошибкой было взять услуги гида. Летали по музею нигде не смогли остоновить и рассмотреть экспазиции. И ничего нового и интересного я не услышала. Лучше бы потратила время на рассмотрение экспонатов.

(Translated by Google) The main thing is that the barrier is no longer BCHB!) (Original) Главное - шлагбаум уже не БЧБ!)

Belarus is good.

(Translated by Google) Well furnished and maintained. A journey through the history of the Second World War. (Original) Gut eingerichtet und gepflegt. Eine Reise durch die Geschichte der Zweiten Weltkrieges.

(Translated by Google) Very nice! (Original) Очень красиво!

VERY GOOD👍

Fantastic place a real privilege to see and visit, shows how these people remember and respect what other people did for them and there country.

Very good place, although of course influenced by the location

(Translated by Google) When people remember their history with such trepidation and love, they have a future! I really liked the museum, the audio guide, the park with waterfalls near the Museum. Two hours spent in the museum were completely unnoticed. Thanks to everyone who participated in the creation of the Museum of the Great Patriotic War. (Original) Когда народ помнит с таким трепетом и любовью свою историю, у него есть будущее! Мне очень понравился музей, аудио гид, парк с водопадами рядом с Музеем. Два часа, проведенные в музее прошли совершенно незаметно. Спасибо всем, кто принимал участие в создании музея ВОВ.

(Translated by Google) I recommend to everyone. (Original) Рекомендую всем и каждому.

(Translated by Google) Big and beautiful museum! To fully watch and listen to everything, you need 3 hours, but do not spare time! Loved it! (Original) Большой и красивый музей! Чтоб полноценно все посмотреть и послушать часа 3 надо, но не жалейте времени! Очень понравилось!

Museum über den 2.Weltkrieg mit Schwerpunkt der Geschehnisse auf dem heutigen Staatsgebiet von Belarus. Erstaunlich objektiv und sehr detailreich.

(Translated by Google) Class (Original) Класс

(Translated by Google) Super. Tanks, aircraft, very interesting. There is a playroom where you can put on uniforms for children and get great photos. You can just draw and play. Very pleased. Every 3rd Tuesday entrance for an adult 4p (in place 9). (Original) Супер. Танки, самолёты-очень интересно. Игровая детская есть, где можно одеть деткам форму и получатся отличные фото., можно просто порисовать и поиграть. Очень довольны. Каждый 3ий вторник вход для взрослого 4р( в место 9).

(Translated by Google) An educational museum, a museum about the heroes-defenders of the Belarusian land. At the same time, the history of the war in other parts of the USSR is politically competently presented in the elements. (Original) Познавательный музей, музей про героев-защитников белорусской земли. В то же время политически грамотно представлена в элементах история и о войне в других частях СССР.

Definitely worth a visit and Definitely much better and much more interactive than the old one.

World class WWII museum. It obviously focuses on Belarus and the Eastern Front but it ties it in very well to the whole of the war. The narrative structure of the exhibits is as good as any museum I've been to, walking through the beginning of the war to the end. The huge number of artifacts they have are very well presented with audio guides and English labels for almost everything. It should be your first stop on Minsk and if you're a WWII buff, it's worth the trip to Belarus just to see it. I spent two hours there but could have spent a whole day if I listened to all the audio guides. Truly a fantastic museum.

Great museum and information of the Eastern Front. I wish more people would go and reflect on the hell the world lived through.

Beautiful presentation and very interesting from the Belarusian people's perspective of the war.

The museum war it's amazing and wow

Amazing museum, one of the best, i have visited. if you travel to Minsk you must visit it

Beautiful building, amazing architecture, millions of artifacts.

(Translated by Google) Cool (Original) Круто

(Translated by Google) We were here for the first time, although we have lived in Minsk all our lives. The museum is really large, contains several floors and, accordingly, several halls that lead step by step along the historical road of the development of military operations. We really enjoyed it, thank you. Admission for an adult is 9 rubles, an audio guide is 4 rubles. (Original) Мы были тут в первый раз хотя живем в Минске всю жизнь представляете. Музей действительно большой, содержит несколько этажей и соответственно несколько залов которые проводят пошагово по исторической дороге развития военных действий. Нас очень понравилось спасибо. Вход для взрослого 9 рублей, аудиогид 4 рубля.

(Translated by Google) Decent level, modern performance. I visited the museum several times, both independently and with my students. We were deeply impressed by the museum's exposition and the forms of filing archival materials about the Great Patriotic War. Children of the new generation, familiar with war through computer games, were it is interesting to know and feel our involvement in the Great Victory of our people. (Original) Достойный уровень ,современное исполнение.Посещала музей несколько раз,как самостоятельно,так и со своими учащимися.Остались под глубоким впечатлением от экспозиции музея и форм подачи архивных материалов о Великой Отечественной Войне .Детям нового поколения,знакомых с войной по средствам компьютерных игр,было интересно узнать и почувствовать свою сопричастность к Великой победе нашего народа.

(Translated by Google) The place is fun and the most beautiful things are the pictures of old cars, tanks and airplanes. (Original) المكان ممتع و أكثر الأشياء جميلة هي صور السيارات و الدبابات و الطائرات القديمة.

(Translated by Google) Alas, I liked the former museum better, but time goes forward and perhaps this style is selling better now. You have to do something with the buffet, it is not expensive and tasty, and in general, it would be better if they just put a coffee machine. Bo public catering has only negative reviews, at least from my friends and not so ... (Original) Увы, бывший музей мне нравился больше, но время идёт вперёд и возможно такой стиль нынче лучше продаётся. В вот с буфетом надо что-то делать, дорого не вкусно и вообще, лучше бы просто кофейный автомат поставили бы. Бо общепит имеет только отрицательные отзывы, во всяком случае от моих знакомых и не очень...

Very nice

(Translated by Google) Very friendly staff. (Original) Очень приветливые сотрудники.

(Translated by Google) very interesting museum in terms of installations .. it is a pity that in Moscow and close they could not create something as interesting (Original) очень интересный музей в плане инсталляций.. жаль, что в москве и близко не смогли создать что-то такое же интересное

(Translated by Google) Very good museum, the architecture is Soviet type. To see if you go to Minsk 👌 (Original) Très bon musée, l'architecture est de type soviétique . A voir si vous passez à Minsk 👌

Children (8 and 4 years old) were also interested, especially military equipment and the tent of orderlies. (Original) В музее много реалистичных экспозиций. Услуги гида не брали, было достаточно описания на табличках и собственных знаний. Детям (8 лет и 4 года) тоже было интересно, особенно военная техника и палатка санитаров.

(Translated by Google) Funny and uncomfortable. In one of the largest museums in the country, they do not give a damn about the historical accuracy and carry out ideological processing. 1 photo is what we have now, 2 initial design. Pay attention to the number 29. (Original) Смешно и неудобно. В одном из крупнейших музеев страны наплевав на историческую достоверность проводят идеологическую обработку. 1 фото то что есть сейчас, 2 первоначальное оформление. Внимание обращаем на цифру 29.

A very beautiful and large museum. The halls are decorated simply incomparably, it is very interesting there. The guide explained everything very clearly and interestingly. I'll be happy to come here again

It turned out to be very informative.

02/09/2024 students of grades 10-11 of the state educational institution "Secondary School 104 named after R.N. Machulsky in Minsk" visited the Museum of the History of the Great Patriotic War for an interactive lesson "Genocide of the Belarusian people during the Second World War." The story of guide Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Kotlovskaya about the tragedy of the Belarusian people, their courage and feat during the harsh years of the war made an indelible impression on the children. We express our deep gratitude for organizing an event aimed at patriotic education of children. Teachers of secondary school 104 in Minsk.
