Traveling through Blue-eyed, we stopped in the wonderful town of Pinsk. The old part of it is quite compact, so it is simply impossible to pass by the Polesie Museum. Moreover, it is located in the building of the Jesuit Collegium, and this is the 17th century for a moment! On the threshold you will most likely be greeted by the museum cat Barsik, greetings from the St. Petersburg Hermitage)). Just 5 rubles (cash) and you are in the oldest museum in Belarus, which turned 100 years old in 2024. The collection is interesting: paintings, including Shishkin and Aivazovsky, wonderful stuffed animals, folk costumes, crafts. And what a wooden bike there is! In fact, there are many exhibits, and there are some very interesting ones. And the building itself, with its high ceilings, echoing corridors, and creaking floorboards, adds to the entourage!

The fact that the museum is located in the building of the former Jesuit collegium (17th century), and it itself marked the centenary of its creation, immediately makes it clear that we are dealing with a very serious, truly historical place. And this feeling does not deceive: in all the halls, you watch and get into the history of Pinshchina in particular and Polesie in general. A variety of interesting exhibits, including ancient mammoth bones, a lot of documents and photographs from different eras immerse you in almost all known periods of local life. We should also say kind words about the rich exposition of Polessky nature. In general, an hour and a half of even an independent guided tour here flew by unnoticed and interesting. Must-visit :)

The museum is located in the ancient building of the Jesuit Collegium, which is already very interesting, as you can not only view the exhibition, but also get acquainted with the architecture of the building. The exposition is quite diverse - everyday life, history, a bit of nature, a good collection of paintings. People traveling to Polesie for the first time will definitely be interested, and those who are well acquainted with this region will not get bored either, especially if you use the services of a guide when visiting the museum.
