The museum is interesting, there are many exhibits, there is something to see and learn new things. BUT... everything is in Belarusian and English, but where is the second state language?! I am from Russia, many friends from Belarus, and I personally know that it is also difficult for them to perceive reading. A 10-year-old child really wanted to read about the exhibits himself, but could not... The uniqueness of Belarus lies in its people and history, and this needs to be promoted and made more accessible. I was not the only one who asked the museum curators about the language, I heard it personally, but of course they send it to the management... Then there is also a question for them, why is there a text in Russian for payment, and the rest is alas?

Overall, the impressions are positive, I especially liked the exposition showing the stages of the evolution of life on earth by period. Fullness is at its height. With the advantages, that's it.
Now the cons. Everything is either in Belarusian or in English (how is the second state language?). I think it was transferred in the 90s, and it remains so.
The staff follows closely, when trying to ask a question, they snap back: read the signs, everything is written there (yeah, it's written on the account - read above).
In short, if you do not speak Belarusian, it is a 50/50 recommendation to visit.

The museum is large and interesting. The expositions are standard - everything that is worthy of attention and happened in the region. And Grodno has a rich history. There are many paintings, I remember the inscription in Belarusian "Neviadomy mastak" on almost every second painting. It sounds like a swear word in Russian))
