Stalin Line

A must-see even for non-history minded tourists. Museum already rightfully glows in reviews. Ditto to that. I'll add two specific points of appreciation that perhaps seldom get recognized. First, HUGE thank you for English! Well-written, proper English. It's not an afterthought, it's a first-class citizen throughout, and that makes museum accessible to mainstream audience. Second, thank you for so beautifully presenting less sexy, nuts & bolts hardware that doesn't usually get attention. Corrugated steel chambers, bridge layers, trench diggers, reinforced vehicle maintenance structures. And you don't just have these items sitting out back unlabeled, you've taken care to identify what they are and what they do. Wow. One request next time placards are revamped: Please add year & location of manufacture if possible. Thank you for so competently preserving this important history.

This is undoubtedly one of the greatest museums and historical landmarks of The Great Patriotic War! Worth a visit for everyone if you happen to pass nearby.

Amazing chance to visit a place of great historical importance where so many lives where sacrificed during WW2. You can also admire the best military technology of the Soviet era. An added touristy bonus is the possibility of firing (blanks) with some weapons and riding a tank!

A lot of stuff to see and touch for real, from bunker machine gun to turret to tanks, lots of tanks, radars, jets, helicopters. It is possible to fire blanks with AK, mosin, Maxim, dshk and even anti-tank. Autobus direct from the Minsk train station.

Incredible collection of military hardware from tanks to fighter jets. Easily one of the best museums of this kind in the world. Surprised I didn't know it before.

The unique historical and cultural complex of the Great Patriotic War. Be sure to come with the kids! Very interesting. You can take an excursion, which guides in the form of soldiers and officers from the Second World War will conduct for you. And you can bypass everything yourself. Fortifications remained - trenches, bunkers of those times, weapons from which, by the way, you can shoot for a nominal fee. There is also a technique of the post-war and Soviet period. On holidays, performances in the open. And in the local souvenir shop you can buy home souvenirs.

Very interesting place to visit when you're in Belarus. There was a lot to see, and I spent several hours exploring the area. Good to see that they had a Lenin statue there 👍

Very impressive to be able to watch bunkers and vehicles used on the Stalin line. It is possible to shoot with some weapon (but the ammo are fake).
