The Museum of the History of the City of Minsk was founded in 1956 and renamed the State Historical and Local History Museum of Belarus. In the collections of the museum there are almost 378 thousand items of history, which are divided into 48 collections.
The museum accepts all visitors in its walls, offering them excursions, presentations of publications on the topic of history, museum and pedagogical classes, theme nights, research of museum items and much more.
The Museum of Local Lore of Minsk is located in two buildings. The main building of the museum is located on the street. K. Marx, 12.
Due to the constant replenishment of the museum's collection, the problem of overcrowding of premises, including basements, is observed today. There is also a shortage of exposition space, which does not allow the development of new exposition with unclaimed museum exhibits.
Permanent exhibitions of the Museum of History of Minsk
The historical museum of Minsk today has ten exhibition halls. Among them - "Ancient Belarus", "Ancient Heraldry of Belarus", "From the History of Weapons", "Old City Life".
Among the main collections of the museum are painting, sculpture, archeology, treasures, floristics, weapons, everyday objects, photo and film documents, and so on. In general, the chronology of collections covers the entire period from primitive to modern times.
