One of the best museums I've been to, everything is incredibly interesting, I stood at every stand, I read it. My great-grandmother was a partisan and the museum has a separate room dedicated to the birth of the partisan movement in Belarus, which is very interesting.

This is a must-visit place! Of course, with an excursion, it is impossible to book a place in the group in advance, you arrive and find out on the spot whether you get to the nearest one or not. We had to wait about an hour, but it's worth it. Moreover, the museum is located on the territory of a beautiful well-maintained park and you can spend time walking around the park while waiting for the tour to begin. There is ample parking next to the museum. The museum itself is large-scale, modern (projectors, interactive screens, etc.), spacious, with real military equipment of those years. The tour lasts almost 1.5 hours, but it will be absolutely tiresome for children. Definitely bring the children here, our duty is to tell them and preserve the memory of the terrible years of the Great Patriotic War. I bow low to Belarus for such an exposition, traveling around the Republic of Belarus we saw many monuments of the Great Patriotic War, all with flowers.

A great museum. Grandiose expositions, many exhibits from the Great Patriotic War, a lot of interactivity, music, frames from movies. All this creates an immersion in the wartime era and penetrates to the depths of the soul. A lot of historical material has been collected, processed and exhibited, a lot of work has been put into it by many people, which causes deep respect. I bow low to the museum staff and all those who participated in the preparation of the information. Well, in the final, the beautiful, shining dome of the Victory Hall, instilling faith in a bright future and hope for world peace. The museum is a must-visit. The world must remember this war and honor the memory of the dead. This is one of the best museums.

Such places cannot be bad, they are always needed and important. But this museum, among other things, is very well made. The exhibits are colorful and visual. Despite the fact that the expositions are designed to remind of terrible events, it's still a beautiful place. I recommend everyone to visit and never forget the great feat of our ancestors!

I love this museum, it's spacious, lots of air, consistent arrangement of halls, you won't get confused. Impressive full-length models of people, scenes from life, a fairly large collection of paintings by Savitsky. After viewing the entire exposition, the upper Victory Hall makes an impression, solemnly and beautifully

Extensive exposure, set aside 3 hours to explore everything. If you are familiar with the history of the Second World War, you don't have to take the tour.

The museum is simply beautiful. The expositions are interesting, after the tour we walked around the museum once again to look at all the expositions, it was worth it, so that they would slowly plunge into the atmosphere and feel the full force of military events.

A magnificent museum! It was made with soul, and with close attention from the era of the Second World War, a huge number of expositions, military equipment, photographs, weapons, various military artifacts, finds of those times. With the help of competently recreated expositions, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere and only good memories of such a beautiful place remain.

It is a very interesting museum, I recommend that you first go through it with a guided tour, as I understand they are held every hour, then you can safely look at the exhibits on your own. Stock up on handkerchiefs.

The grandest museum! The exposition is large-scale, detailed, artistically significant, with interactive features, with a lot of real things dear to the hearts of the heroes' relatives. The same style. Wonderful staff. We did not take a tour, we moved independently from hall to hall, so it turns out that the caretaker of the hall was watching us with one eye (probably) and when we got a little lost in the further direction, she came up and directed us. I repeat, a grandiose museum, the most sincere impressions of what I saw! The Belarusian people took a lot on their shoulders and stood up!

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.

A really huge museum with an incredible number of exhibits. It will take at least two or even three hours to get around it. The prices are reasonable, I can't say for the excursions, I'm a historian myself.

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!

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.

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.
