    I was pleasantly surprised that we have such a gallery-museum in Minsk. How much love and soul has been invested in this miracle corner, the energy is off the charts. 3 huge, beautiful, brutal cats live and guard the Gallery, which give this place the “Mystery of a fairy-tale world” The creator of this charity project is a Man with a capital P, a Man of a big, kind heart, his actions are aimed at saving and helping the homeless "Tails" I express my deep gratitude to the people who are involved in rescuing, treating and adopting cats there. I recommend that everyone who loves tailed animals visit this thematic museum, Art Gallery "Kotovasia", you will get a lot of positive emotions and pleasure, it will be interesting for both children and adults.

    Very nice cozy and positive place! The cats are well-groomed, happy, they are loved, and it’s obvious that they know that they are in charge. The museum and exhibits are amazing, I collect cats myself, so I enjoyed going around the entire gallery, there is a photo zone, it’s interesting for both children and adults. You can have some coffee. The best part is that the money goes to help cats, I will visit you more often if possible, the New Year's toy purchased from you is a memory and a separate exhibit with a little history) thank you for your great cause! ❤️

    Excellent private art gallery. All exhibits are made in the shape of cats; there are more than 7,300 of them from 106 countries. There are very expensive and rare works. The gallery supports a shelter for cats, so all funds raised from ticket sales go towards treatment and finding a new home for cats. I highly, highly recommend it.

    Bomb place!!! Score 200 out of 100! I recommend it to everyone, from young to old! You will not find so many figurines collected with love from all over the world anywhere in the Republic of Belarus and beyond its borders. The owner-collector of this museum is a man with a big heart who put his soul into this place. Thank you for this amazing place and human kindness to our little brothers. I’ve been several times and will come again more than once, because it’s impossible to take in all this splendor in one or two times! And the three museum guardian cats are simply charming tails, each with their own story. I wish you success, prosperity and expansion!

    (Translated by Google) This unique and very hospitable place within walking distance from the Malinovka metro station will remain in your heart! Here you can find a diverse and fascinating collection of artifacts about cats, and this is 7000 copies from all over the world! Styles of art, countries, eras are mixed here. You can return to Kotovasia many times and you will still find something new. The museum staff is very intelligent and friendly, they will show you old clockwork dolls in the form of cats, music boxes, tell the history of the museum and its inhabitants. And the inhabitants here are wonderful !!! We found three, but they warmed us up and cheered us up. Paco, Chernysh and Yasha are beautiful and kind cats, they just adore people and play with pleasure. You can only dream of such pets. There are comfortable sofas and armchairs on which you can sit with the cat in your arms and stroke it while purring. In an epidemiologically difficult time, the museum has done everything for your safety - visits by appointment, individual groups, staff wearing masks and keeping their distance. And a very modest price. Come and get a very pleasant experience that everyone needs. (Original) Это уникальное и очень гостеприимное место в пешей доступности от станции метро Малиновка останется в вашем сердце! Здесь собрана разнообразная увлекательная коллекция артефактов о котах,а это 7000 экземпляров со всего света! Здесь смешались стили искусства, страны, эпохи. Можно возвращаться в Котовасию много раз и вы все равно будете нахолить что-то новое. Персонал музея очень интеллигентный и доброжелательный, вам покажут старинные заводные куклы в виде котиков,музыкальные шкатулки, расскажут историю музея и его обитателей. А обитатели здесь замечательные!!! Мы застали троих,но они согрели нас теплом и подняли настроение. Пако, Черныш и Яша красивые и добрые котики,они просто обожают людей и с удовольствием играют. О таких питомцах можно только мечтать. Здесь есть удобные диванчики и кресла,на которых можно посидеть с котиком на руках и погладить его под мурчание. В эпидемиологически сложное время в музее все сделано для вашей безопасности - посещение по записи, индивидуальные группы,персонал в масках и держит дистанцию. И очень скромная цена. Приходите, получите очень приятные впечатления, такие нужные каждому.

    You can't imagine a better place for collectors of cat figurines! For any color, taste and theme, from a variety of materials! The room is large, we walked around for an hour and decided that we would come back again in order to get a better look at everyone and see those we liked again. During the examination, live cats accompany you) are very gentle, gently rub against your legs, the child is delighted. There is no cat smell at all! To get there they called 1 day in advance, the gallery opened at the appointed time.

    A very interesting gallery dedicated to the theme of cats and cats. All the exhibits collected here are at least somehow connected with these fluffy and purring creatures. There are dolls, household items, masks, books, unusual paintings and much more. At the entrance we were greeted by cats that you can pet and hold in your arms, of course, if they allow you to do so. Anyone who is partial to cats and anyone who wants something unusual should definitely visit. Thanks to the staff! 10 fluffy cats out of 5!

  • 1/5 Катерина �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Probably really everything is super. I'd love to see everything live, just arrived today (06/03/2020 around 12.30) kissed the door, took a picture with a cat near the door and left upset. Neither the ads on the doors, nor on the site that do not work do not. Sadly (Original) Наверное и вправду все супер. Очень хотелось бы вживую все увидеть, только приехав сегодня (03.06.2020 в районе 12.30) поцеловали дверь, сфоткались с котом возле дверей и ушли расстроенные. Ни объявления на дверях, ни на сайте о том, что не работают нет. Печально

  • 5/5 Валентина �. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I liked the adults and children very much. The owner of the gallery is very pleasant and welcoming. 4 cats live in comfort and joy. The door is closed. You need to call by phone and they will open for you. I advise you to watch. (Original) Очень понравилось взрослым и детям. Хозяин галереи очень приятный и радушный. Живут в комфорте и радости 4 котика. Дверь закрыта. Надо звонить по телефону и вам откроют. Советую к просмотру.

  • 5/5 Ольга �. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very impressed, exactly what the kids needed. A huge number of figurines and a bonus, three live cats that you can search for. It should be noted that I am allergic (allergic to cat hair, I didn’t feel it at all, there were no attacks) (Original) Очень впечатлила, детям именно то что нужно. Огромное колличество статуэток и бонус, три живые котейки, которых можно поискать. Следует отметить что я аллергик( аллергия на кошачью шерсть, вообще никак не почувствовал, приступов не было)

    We visited in the summer of 2023. Very interesting. You can walk for a long time among the exhibits and look at them. We did not expect such a number. The cats living here are simply adorable.

👍👍 Для ценителей искусства - это одно из лучших мест для посещения в Минске.
