  • 5/5 Dzianis M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I strongly recommend visiting, because here you can have fun and expand your horizons, knowledge of history and everyday life, as well as stick to shards, coins, dead animals and portrait paintings of venerable (does not mean that they have mastitis) portrait painters. The museum is keeping pace with the times, for which they installed a stand with interactive WIRE (a kind of walking in step with the times) glasses from an overseas manufacturer, which broadcast the church premises to the brain, and their friend, on the back of the stand, is a picturesque mound with a building at the top, which It is strikingly different from the picture on the external screen, well, okay ... The museum exposition is conducive to a leisurely study of the material, the atmosphere is appropriate. In the basement there is a cabinet of curiosities, called the Museum of Wildlife of Belarus, which is filled with various corpses of animals and birds from the fauna of the republic. The staff is polite and friendly. Cards and cash Belarusian rubles are accepted for payment. Free admission for preschoolers, discounts for students and schoolchildren. On the ground floor there is a large stand with themed souvenirs at affordable prices. Parking along the street, today, is Rs / hour (you can pay at a parking meter or through a mobile operator). Come, stick, educate yourself, admire ... and don't touch the exhibits with your hands). (Original) К посещению настоятельно рекомендую, ибо здесь можно увлекательно провести время и расширить кругозор, познания в истории и быту, а так же позалипать на черепки, монетки, дохлых зверушек и картины-портреты деятелей кисти маститых(не значит, что у них мастит) портретистов. Музей шагает в ногу со временем, для чего установили стойку с интерактивными ПРОВОДНЫМИ (своеобразная ходьба в ногу со временем) очками заморского производителя, кои транслируют в мозг помещение костела, а их товарка, с обратной стороны стенда, - живописный курган с постройкой наверху, что разительно отличается от картинки на внешнем экране, ну, да и ладно... Музейная экспозиция располагает к неспешному изучению материала, атмосфера соответствующая. В цоколе размещена кунсткамера, именуемая - Музей живой природы Беларуси, коя набита разнообразными трупиками животин и пташек из фауны республики. Персонал вежливый и приветливый. К оплате принимают карты и наличные белорусские рубли. Дошколятам вход свободный, студиозус и школярам - скидки. На первом этаже большой стенд с сувенирами тематической направленности по доступным ценам. Парковка вдоль улицы, на сегодняшний день, - рупь/час (оплатить можно в паркомате либо через мобильного оператора). Приходите, залипайте, просвещайтесь, восторгайтесь... и экспонаты руками не трогайте).

    Meh - staff is funny. All these old ladies that "guard" the art. I went crazy in the souvenir shop but the art was poor. Most of them weren't originals and had labels saying things like "portrait of man - date unknown. Copy of original" - haha thanks that was useful...

    This museum has a lot of great exhibits. We went when they had a lot of old books on display, including the first printing of the Belarusian Bible. I especially loved the traditional clothing and money exhibits.

    Untidy but cozy place. Looks like a large house more than a museum.

  • 2/5 James M. 5 years ago on Google • 18 reviews
    The museum was rather disappointing. While it has a lot of great artifacts on display, the curation of the exhibits could be improved. A self-guided tour would have been difficult had I already not known anything about Belarusian history. The museum staff was unhelpful, and some of them were outright rude to our family. The museum currently has an exhibit with a virtual reality component, but the staff almost religiously trys to keep you from using the VR gear, I guess to keep you from breaking it. Then as we waiting for a scheduled activity for children to start (which did not start on time), our kids got a bit rowdy, but not out of control (what do you expect from kids when they get impatient). One of the staff members came and told them to "stop running and breaking everything." We promptly left. Maybe on other days there are more friendly staff members on hand, but based on our experience, I would say that a visit to this museum is not worth the money it costs, and that it is not a place to take the family.

    To start your tour it starts at the very beginning of human. It shows how man evolved Through Time from cooking Clothing they wore weapons. Tools they used.

    (Translated by Google) Modestly somehow. It has long been fiction. Gentlemen (who "history is not disclosed") is a museum, here is history in those items that were in the museum. (Original) Скромно как-то. Давно небыл. Господа (которые "история не раскрыта") это музей, тут история в тех предметах, которые оказались в музее.

  • 4/5 будние рыжего �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Everything would be fine, but there is no air conditioning system - very stuffy and hot. At half the excursion you are not thinking about the exposure, but about the fact that there is not enough oxygen and it is faster to go outside. (Original) Все бы ничего, но нет системы кондиционирования - очень душно и жарко. На половине экскурсию думаешь не об экспозиции, а о том, что не хватает кислорода и быстрее выйти на улицу.

  • 5/5 Kiryl V. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the best museums in Belarus, and it has been such for a long time. Located in the center of Minsk. Everything that you read in the history textbook, you can see here with your own eyes - from full-growth statues of primitive man to weapons of the Second World War. (Original) Один из лучших музеев Беларуси, причем явояется таковым уже давно. Расположен в центре Минска. Все, о чем вы читали в учебнике истории, вы можете увидеть здесь своими глазами - от полноростовых статуй первобытного человека до оружия Второй мировой войны.

  • 4/5 Ксения �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A small museum with a rather interesting exposition. History of Belarus. I liked it very much - the interior of the Soviet era. And a room with coins. (Original) Небольшой музей, с достаточно интересной экспозицией. История Беларуси . Очень понравилось - интерьер советской эпохи. И зал с монетами.

  • 5/5 A P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I am very impressed with the atmosphere of this place! The staff is quite polite, which is very nice! This museum has more distinctive features about the history of Belarus! The icon with Jesus is the best and most inspiring thing I have seen lately! The composite parts themselves are built very well, I was very pleased to see how everything is arranged. I was surprised to see the image of winged hussars from the Commonwealth and also many quality and beautiful things from the Paleolithic era. No photos will give you those real feelings and admiration ... this is a real and interesting journey through the past (Original) Я вельмі ўражана атмасферай гэтага месца! Персанал даволі ветлівы, што вельмі прыемна! Гэты музей больш нясе адметных рыс пра гісторыю Беларусі! Ікона з Ісусам гэта самая лепшая і натхняльная рэч што я бачыла ў апошні час! Самі кампазіцыйныя часткі пабудаваны вельмі якасна, мне было вельмі прыемна бачыць як усе размешчана. Я была зьдзіўлена ўбачыць вобраз крылатых гусараў з рэчы Паспалітай і таксама шмат якасных і прыгожых рэчаў з эпохі палеаліту. Аніякія фотаздымкі не дадуць вам тыя сапраўдная пачуцці і захапленне... гэта сапраўдная і цікавая вандроўка па мінулым

    (Translated by Google) Nice history museum. The exposure will mix frequently. There is also a constant. This time there was an interesting exhibition of the remains of the Museum of Jewry. (Original) Хороший исторический музей. Экспозиция смешается достаточно часто. Есть и постоянная. В этот раз была интересная выставка остатков экспозиции музея еврейства.

  • 4/5 Ольга �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I recommend to everyone! 4 hours flew by unnoticed ... The only inconvenience is that the museum Wi-Fi, connected on the 1st floor, is not available on the upper floors ... For that, minus one star ... (Original) Всем рекомендую! 4 часа пролетели незаметно... Единственное неудобство - музейный вай-фай, подключённый на 1 этаже, на верхних этажах недоступен... За это минус одна звездочка...

  • 5/5 Инна �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cool exhibition of Christmas tree decorations. The caretakers in the halls are talking about nothing. One of them frankly admitted that she had no idea what kind of exhibit it was and did not know the Belarusian language at all. (Original) Прикольная выставка елочных игрушек. Смотрители в залах ни о чем. Одна из них откровенно призналась, что без понятия что это за экспонат и вообще не знает белорусский язык.

    (Translated by Google) I liked the museum very much. There is an opportunity to download the broadcast of the guide on the Play market, but if you don't know the story, it's not interesting. We went with a child, he is 11 years old, just passing through the history of the Middle Ages. He like it very much . (Original) Музей очень понравился. Есть возможность скачать трансляцию гида на Play market .А так ,если не знаешь историю ,то не интересно. Ходили с ребенком ,ему 11 лет,как раз проходят по Истории средние века. Ему очень понравилось .

    (Translated by Google) A luxurious place, I am a Minsker, but recently I got there for the first time. Very interesting expositions, not boring, at the entrance to the museum there is a trophy - a real cannon, two meters in length. I think this is a great place for a weekend visit. (Original) Шикарное место, я минчанка, но совсем недавно попала в него впервые. Очень интересные экспозиции, не скучно, на входе в музей трофей - настоящая пушка метра два в длину. Мне кажется, отличное место для визита выходного дня.
