Wars were being torn down, the Bolsheviks were rebuilding, but all the same, the integrity of the ensemble was preserved by the professional residents of Grodno. It is a very integral architectural monument. And the throne room, ceilings, and layout of the palace have been preserved inside. The palace is a large casket, a national treasure of Grodno and, in general, the Republic of Belarus. Two in one, as an art and historical museum is currently located here. An amazing picture of Rogneda, the ancestor of our Gorislavich Family.
Please also pay attention to the paintings by Malevich and Goncharova. How did they not get taken to Moscow in Soviet times? One can only wonder! Real diamonds from any museum! It's great that they are now decorating Grodno!!
Thanks to all the curators and employees of this museum, who faithfully preserve the Culture of our common country for us and the next generations of Russian Belarusians: Belarusians, Ukrainians and Russians. They keep these riches for our children and grandchildren. Low bow!!

We arrived in Grodno for a day, on September 25, 2024
Because there was very little time, there was a choice between the old castle and the new one, but the description of the new palace interested us more.
There are a number of interesting works about chivalry.
But the most impressive thing was the conversation between two employees of the museum, who were not embarrassed by the visitors (about ten people, including us).
On the floor, passing further into the Soviet era, two employees in literate Russian loudly debated on the topic of describing objects and paintings on it. And one of them tried to explain to the second that this was a competent step. The other one denied everything (in Russian, please note) and said that the Russians had gone to them, and as soon as the restrictions were lifted, they would forget their land. And whatever her will, everything in the museum would be only in the Belarusian language. I clearly remember the phrase: "When a Belarusian comes up to me and asks why there is no Russian in the description of the paintings, I tell him that we have 2 official languages in our country and he must know his native language. And if a Russian approaches me, I send him to Paris, to the Louvre, to dictate my terms there." Actually, starting at 12 o'clock and until the end of the day, we just waited for the train to go on. Everything in the city, after their dialogue, caused only 2 associations - Unreasonably expensive, unfriendly. The mood was saved only by a cool uncle who played outside and sang. In everything close to my heart, I have been almost everywhere, and everything responds to my heart, except Grodno. And I really don't want to do it a second time.
If we ignore the situation, there are more impressive places in the city than this museum. The time spent is not worth it.
