An excellent, modern museum. A large multi-storey exhibition. There are equipment, documents, and a chronicle. It will appeal to those who just like to watch and those who like to study everything carefully. We stayed there for a couple of hours - we weren't even tired.

High-quality, atmospheric and historically correct content. For obvious reasons, there is a bias towards the Belarusian part of the history of the Great Patriotic War, but it was also pleasantly surprised by the presence of expositions dedicated to other sections of the front (for example, about Stalingrad). A must-visit!

The museum is amazing! The exposition is simply gorgeous, you can't take your eyes off it! You can watch it yourself, you can join the tour. In any case, you will be satisfied. The museum is definitely worth a visit to all those who are not indifferent. The prices are very affordable.

A modern museum. Interesting items, weapons and other attributes of the Great Patriotic War. An excursion to the main one about the exploits of the Belarusian people. I recommend listening to the tour first..and then we can walk around the second circle and calmly look at photographs, old videos. The territory is neat. I was impressed by the hall dedicated to the concentration camps. The dome of the building is very beautiful from the inside.

A grand museum! I recommend taking an excursion so that there is a complete harmonious presentation! I was especially shocked by the paintings of Savitsky, who himself survived the concentration camp. Looking at his paintings, tears involuntarily come to my eyes.

Everyone will like it!But maybe only very young children will not be able to get into it, although for them the scenery is like in a fairy tale, there is also a cafe, souvenirs, strong five stars.The topic is complicated, so I won't dwell on the meanings-I just need to go!!!

The museum's expositions are breathtaking. From the first steps, you immerse yourself in the history of the Great Patriotic War, you forget about time moving from hall to hall. When planning to visit the museum, you expect that for two hours you will not be able to tear yourself away from what you saw and just leave. At the same time, leaving the museum you will find yourself in a park that will also not leave you indifferent.

One of the largest museums dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. A huge number of exhibits tell about the pre-war period, the difficult and terrible war and the bright joy of Victory. At the very beginning of the exhibition, it is worth paying attention to the reasons for the outbreak of war. In the process of getting acquainted with the exhibits and information, the reasons for the fascists' hatred of the Soviet people are revealed. And it becomes clear why our Victory over evil was inevitable.

To all who read, good afternoon! The impression of the place was very good. We didn't take the tour, but in general everything is clear. The exhibits are clear, everything inside is beautiful and not dim. Most of all, I want to highlight the place where the ceiling is like a dome, it's very beautiful there!

There is information and exhibits not only related to the war of 1941-1945, but also to modern military operations. There are a lot of impressions, a lot of new information. I advise you, it's worth a visit, you won't regret it.

An interesting and incredibly huge amount of work has been done in the creation of this museum. It is clear that those people who were engaged in recreating the moments of battles and historical events were completely absorbed in this matter. They gave themselves completely so that their descendants would remember those terrible and tragic events! Take the tour right away, you definitely won't regret it!

I really liked the museum! There is both interactive and technical equipment (there are originals and life-size models), many documentary exhibits, and, for example, a whole hall with dugouts for various purposes is dedicated to the theme of the partisan movement! The amazing Hall of fame is bright and solemn! I highly recommend taking a tour - for this you need to go to the tour desk, and if there is a free guide, everything will be organized quickly! The cost of such an excursion is at least 30 bel.rub., but if there are more people (there were three of us at first), then the cost per person becomes 7 bel.rub. The tour lasts an hour, during this time you will be briefly told about the history of the Second World War, after which you can walk around the museum for unlimited time. The museum building looks very interesting and modern, although it was opened during the war, in 1944. It is noteworthy that the main dome repeats the dome of the Reichstag, over which the Victory banner is flying.

It must be seen! A stunning museum, thought out to the smallest detail, impresses everyone, the central attraction of Minsk. I recommend everyone to visit, you will not remain indifferent. Not a single photo will convey the feelings that you will experience after seeing all the expositions in person.

An excellent museum, perhaps the attraction that is definitely worth visiting in Minsk. There is a small parking lot for twenty cars nearby, so it is better to go on weekdays. The exposition is impressive, there are a lot of equipment and weapons. It begins with the period of the beginning of the war, goes through the main events and ends in the upper Victory hall. There are many showcases with events and their participants (including personal belongings, uniforms of Marshals Konev, Baghramyan, Rokossovsky, and other heroic warriors), the partisan movement, and the atrocities of the fascists. The latter should definitely be shown to school-age children so that liberal illusions do not arise when they grow up. There is a lot of information, so I would recommend an hour-long tour, and then a self-guided tour. Option two is to take an audio guide, but this is for three hours, because there are a lot of events and information. There is a souvenir shop in the lobby of the museum, there is no cafe as such, there is a coffee machine. In general, come in, you will not regret it.

I am delighted, we walked around it 2 times, the first with a guide, and then again ourselves, because everything is so assembled, presented and shown. It is so realistic, the atmosphere is saturated with those realities of the world. And I was also very impressed by the paintings of prisoners, by the author M.A. Savitsky, in general, if you have the opportunity, go there, you will not regret it. This is our story, which I honor and is preserved in Belarus, where the Flag of the USSR is still flying

Very majestic!!! A well-made and very interesting museum! Getting into the museum, one is completely immersed in the atmosphere of those terrible and difficult years.... Belarus was occupied until 1944 and a lot of suffering fell to its lot, and the guide tells and shows about it very competently and accessible to visitors of any age - from young to old. While we were walking through the halls of war, of course, everything was dark, heavy and scary, just like those years, but here we went up under the dome and there the Victory Hall is all shiny, shining, pleasing to the eye - and most importantly - the peaceful, clear, blue sky above! The emotions are indescribable! Be sure to visit the museum, be sure to take the children there - we must remember our history and the price that the Soviet Union and Belarus in particular paid for the Victory!

An excellent museum that harmoniously combines modern trends and a classic approach. Without a fanatical focus on multimedia and interactive, but also without naphthalene. There is an opportunity to dive into separate sections, take a break, and stop somewhere and think. It is clear that they invested in the museum, but not thoughtlessly and with pomp, but wisely used the opportunities. I wish the museum development and prosperity. Thank you for the memory and thank you that not everyone finds the sad experience of our common neighbors attractive.

We decided to start exploring Minsk with this museum, because there is no more important page in our history. The exposition is very diverse, the exhibits clearly show how much our people paid for the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The majestic building, located in a picturesque place of the city, attracts a lot of attention. I will definitely come back again.

I, I emphasize, personally. This is my opinion. We were a family (4 people) in Minsk. My wife's uncle died near Mogilev. We took an excursion. It's all good. The girl spoke loudly and clearly about the stages of the Great Patriotic War. I just didn't feel that it was one country that withstood the pressure of "dedicated Europe" and was able to turn it around. I do not diminish the role of the Belarusian partisan and underground movement, but I did not feel unity. Maybe I took it that way, I don't know... As in a fairy tale, twigs are easy to break, a broom is difficult....
