Beautiful installations, all the details are thought out to the smallest detail, especially the study of the little men on the layouts was admired. I would like to express my special gratitude to the guide Zlata: a pleasant girl who told us many interesting stories about the sights.

It's a really cool, pleasant place. Layouts that the craftsmen put their hearts into. Much better than the Moscow Tsar model, although much smaller. Fun interactive and unusual souvenirs at the exit that you won't find anywhere else. It's worth mentioning vr and the Hope that immersed us in this experience)

The museum is small: there are only 21 models, but keep in mind that only significant places (churches, palaces, fortresses) are represented, and not models of cities. The headphones issued at the checkout do not work, there are a lot of visitors, I want to listen to the audio guide in a row by numbers, but I have to get off the route, because they immediately conduct guided tours. By the way, why didn't the ticket office say that you can take a guided tour instead of an audio guide? The "virtual reality" room is just a row of chairs where you will be given dirty VR glasses, the vestibular device immediately gives up on this format. And the locations themselves.. it's like I went through Google maps, but I also paid on top:(

It's a very interesting museum. The historical information in the audio guide is just great, as is the vr zone. You can see most of Belarus in two hours. The staff is polite, pleasant and young. Ekaterina, the tour guide, was particularly impressed. I will definitely advise my friends and relatives.

It's a wonderful museum, thank you for this opportunity to learn about the sights and history of the country's main architectural sites. If you are going to visit the museum, I strongly recommend charging your phone! The audio guide will be your phone, they will tell you the password and give you an earphone with a slot for your phone, then you will approach a certain landmark and choose a track to listen to. I only had 30% charge, I didn't think it would be enough, honestly, if I had known in advance, I wouldn't have thought about it every 5 minutes.

A soulful place, worth a visit. We thought we'd look around quickly, but we were stuck for two hours. The layouts are made with great attention to detail, it is interesting to look at from all sides, almost everyone has a day/night backlight. An audio guide is provided at the entrance, aka a phone with headphones, with which you can listen to short stories (on average 3-4 minutes) about each exhibit or read all the same text, very convenient. Fly in the ointment: I will not remove the star, but it is somehow not commendable to sell products from Aliexpress in a souvenir shop with "Belarusian goods". The purchased brooch was easily found on Ali for 4 times cheaper. Seriously, guys?

I really liked the museum. Especially considering the weather this summer, I was able to see the sights of Belarus both in miniature and on a virtual walk through them. I definitely recommend it. For those who come with children, it is better to take a guide, they conduct games and tell very interesting stories. And an audio guide is enough for adults.

The exposition includes magnificent interactive exhibitions that immerse you in the culture and history of the country. I was particularly impressed by the Easter eggs that appear on many layouts. We learned a lot about the beautiful castles of Belarus. I would like to say a special thanks to the guide Diana. We recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of this wonderful country!

In the museum for the second time. In addition to the audio guide telling about each exhibit, I visited the virtual reality zone today. I'm thrilled! First, see and listen to the history of each architectural monument in the package, and then visually see it all in a modern way, not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Moreover, I have already seen some of the exhibits live, and I can say that these virtual glasses convey everything very correctly and realistically. Really the whole country in one day!

If anything, there is a toilet and a cafe in the building. The museum itself has a snack and drink area. Many souvenirs can be purchased. The audio guide is free. A quest for children.

I recommend visiting here to get a general impression of interesting places in Belarus. The ticket is 24 rubles and do not spare 6 rubles for 3D glasses - there you can wander around the places thanks to stereo shooting. There is a button under each exhibit that temporarily changes the lighting of the object to night. An audio guide is a Wi-Fi + a link to a telegram channel with a number, a photo of the exhibit site and an audio track. Take your headphones with you (although they even give you a phone and headphones, or only headphones if you can connect them to your phone). In general, this exhibition helped me understand exactly what I want to see in the available time and travel options, and what I'm not interested in and not worth the resources.

Unexpectedly, I really liked the museum. It is located on the lower floor of the Palace of Culture of Trade Unions, occupies a small area, I would like it to be more spacious and have more air, but as it is. The museum presents famous architectural objects of our republic on models, everything is handmade, beautiful lighting, many small details. Young girls conduct an exciting tour, weave legends into the story, ask interesting questions along the way and give small prizes for correct answers, entertaining both adults and children. I recommend the museum to visit.

Very beautiful and detailed layouts, I love layouts and everything related to them. There is an audio confirmation for each of the exhibits. It all looks especially cool when you look at the sights that have already been destroyed, for example, the Ruzhansky Castle. Compared to other exhibits, it looks like the largest structure. It so happened that we first visited the museum, and the next day, passing through, we were just in Ruzhany. You can immediately clearly imagine the scale of the palace there, I hope the state will invest and restore this beautiful structure. Lay at least 1.5 hours (for 22 or 21 layouts) + for a separate fee, there are vr glasses (for another 15-20 minutes) in which you can visit these exhibits inside. The only thing you can get tired of is unaccustomed, my nose is numb. The only drawback is the old equipment: flimsy headphones, you can use your phone, of course, but if you have a newer model and there is no longer a connector for wired headphones, it will not be so convenient. We were given one phone and one earphone for two, respectively, it was uncomfortable ( I attach a photo of the layout of the Ruzhansky castle and ruins

In my opinion, the museum is somewhat overpriced and not worth the money)) Of course, the painstaking work on creating miniatures is impressive. But nothing can replace seeing architectural monuments in person. Each visitor is given an audio guide, and the story about each exhibit lasts 2-3 minutes. And by the fifth architectural miniature, there is a mess in my head and it becomes uninteresting to listen. We also took VR, literally after a couple of minutes of a virtual walk we completed it, we were not impressed
