In the very center of Minsk, not far from the Central Department Store, there is a small coffee shop with a very original interior and delicious desserts. It's usually quiet and sparsely populated, and you can sit and talk in peace. But that's not the point. The coffee shop has two showrooms where reproductions of paintings by famous artists are exhibited. The reproductions are made of high quality, each is provided with a detailed description. But that's not all. On certain days and times (the schedule can be found on Instagram, for example) there are guided tours and lectures, which you need to sign up for in advance, because at this time there are a lot of people who want to come here. But it's worth it. After such lectures, when you come home, you want to open the Internet and find something else about the artist and his works. These events are very interesting. Big

6.10.2024 We went with our family to the exhibition "The most mysterious pictures of the world".
I am very sorry for the time spent. I wanted to celebrate the twentieth anniversary in an unusual and interesting way, but the expectations were not fulfilled at all.
The organization is disgusting. In pursuit of profit (and ticket prices are not the smallest), the organizers took everyone on a tour. Specifically, there were about 30 people on the tour where we got to. The halls themselves are quite small, which is why the guide could not be heard very well, and it was almost impossible to see the paintings in question behind the people.
The concept of this exhibition is completely absent. They promised the most mysterious paintings, but in the end there was nothing like it. Everything was hung in a scatter and the guide kept running from one painting to another. The exhibition presents different eras and different artists and there is no common theme. What were the organizers thinking about? What logic did they follow when compiling it? Unclear.
None of the advertised paintings were presented at the exhibition. And there was no mystery in the presented works.
There is not much to say about the tour itself. It was obvious that the guide knows a lot about each author and can tell you about them and their works in an interesting way. But due to the fact that there was no logic and some kind of connection in the exhibition itself, and time was limited, he also failed to reach his potential.
As for the paintings themselves, they are not bad. You can walk around and view them, but the exhibition itself left a very bad impression.
Even watching the unsuccessful film adaptation of "Onegin" on TV in the evening caused more discussion and emotions than this exhibition.
In general, I do not recommend it.

We decided to visit the gallery on 06/11/2024 for the peony harvest. Our team consisted of 4 adults and I had a child in a baby carriage. Realizing that we would not go to the exhibition itself with a stroller, we decided that two people would sit in a cafe, drink tea / coffee and stay with a stroller, two would look at peonies and then switch, what was our surprise when we were not allowed with a stroller even in a cafe. We asked three times if it was really impossible to use a stroller, and received a positive answer. A couple of days later, I asked on Instagram where I could get acquainted with the rules of visiting the cafe and gallery, they told me that at the entrance to the cafe. So that the pleasure of the visit was not received from the word at all.
