Belarusian National Arts Museum

Fantastic permanent collection spanning across many centuries. Highly recommend visiting when in Minsk. On par with a lot of European art museums.

Loved the museum - it has fantastic collection of Belarusian and Russian art that covers different periods in history, large number of work was pillaged during WWII and now returned to the collection. I visited museum around Christmas time and had the opportunity to listen to a Choir Concert that was wonderful. Overall great museum, chance to discover lots of new interesting artists. My only complain is the lighting, it really needs adjustment as it leaves glare on the pictures making it harder to see the details.

A wonderful place to go to see some current exhibits. When I went, they had a new exhibit on the color red and how it relates to the Belarusian people. I found it interesting and the descriptions were well written. I have been several times and will continue to go back when they implement more exhibits as the rest of the museum doesn't change.

It wasn’t the food that inspired me on this short trip to Minsk, it was the artworks of one 19th century landscape painter, Ivan Aivazovsky. His piece “Night at Rodos Island” is sublime. The art works in this large gallery are expansive in period range and scale. There was an exhibit on horses and horse related art works that I found fascinating.

Amazing collection of art, however the presentation and the lighting are horrible. Missing professional touch. Also, offers no discounts to kids and seniors. No elevator to the second floor.

Unfortunately big part of museum was closed for reconstruction when visited this place. But I still loved everything I saw and recommend everyone to visit this museum. I honestly can't wait to come back and still whole place. Entrance fee is only 6rubles which is approximately $3

Compared to similar museums in other countries this is not a very big one, but it holds an excellent exhibition (mostly of paintings and some sculptures) by some great artists. The entry costs only 6byn, so there is no reason of thinking it too much. It really worths a visit.

Very beautiful museum.. The arts and paintings are unbelievably amazing! Pay a visit if you love art and history.
