Museum of the Old Believers and Belarusian traditions
147 reviews
July 11
It is necessary to come here for unforgettable impressions for real, not fake, antiquity.
While its creators, the descendants of the Old Believers, are still alive and working in the museum, they will tell you many secrets, customs, customs, stories and reveal many signs and symbols of the Russian tradition, Slavic creativity and ritual actions.
You will not find such icons, ancient printed books, towels and household utensils anywhere!
Soon the museum will be overwhelmed by a slightly different direction of presentation of the material - on the move (Mikola is already broadcasting and singing) and with a purely national tilt, displacing the true historical primordial nature and purpose of the national museum!

How to get there? From the central Bus station of Gomel, minibuses and buses every half hour. I recommend a minibus of 3.5 rubles. And you are there in 20 minutes. The museum itself is in the city, 10 minutes walk from the bus stop. Tickets are not expensive. But it's better to take a guided tour, otherwise you won't understand or remember anything. Call and make an appointment in advance, maybe you will be with someone. 3 floors of the museum, from the history of the Old Believers to stunning icons. I was fascinated by homespun towels and suits. And books, one of which is from 1646. Ask more questions to the guides and you will definitely like it. As it turned out, different guides with different approaches tell the truth. There is a toilet in the museum. There are souvenirs and books. By the way, two Old Believers' churches have been preserved in Gomel. But you are unlikely to be allowed in. The museum is excellent, one of the most interesting on the topic of folk traditions.

You can write a lot, but I'll be brief: in my opinion and not only, this is the best museum of local lore in our country. And the richness of the exposition, and the approach to its presentation, and in general, what kind of work the staff does for visitors (both adults and children). These are lectures, master classes and celebrations with rituals. And there is also a huge scientific work to collect, preserve and restore our heritage. The museum also has a branch in Gomel. I highly recommend visiting! And subscribe to the museum's Instagram!

This is the best museum I've ever seen.
The best because of the idea of the exhibition design.
The best because of the passion of the employees.
The best because of its uniqueness in preserving the presented culture of the Old Believers.

A good museum, standing on the central square. The carved gate beckons . A good exposition, chosen with imagination and zest. And what kind of embroidery, you can't take your eyes off))). The tour was on the Belarusian move. A very interesting dialogue.

There are many ancient artifacts.
Homelites, who were not served before the Branch of the Red Army, were definitely a master hev).

A very interesting and original museum. You definitely need to visit. The topic of Old Believers is very interesting, especially when you consider that not much is known about this culture and the offshoot of the Orthodox Religion (I mean first of all myself). I think everyone who comes here from non-experts in religion and folk culture will find something previously unknown for themselves. For me, these were the salaries of icons made of beads.
There are excursions in the museum, but you only need to come with a reserve of time before closing (the tour lasts about an hour and a half). As a backup option, you can use the audio guide via a QR code.

The place is fascinating, excursions to rodnai mov😍!!! Having lived in the Gomel region all your adult life, only here you realize how rich the Belarusian land is in talents, skills, events!
There is a desire to explore the native land and come back here again and again.
I have visited the museum with students by profession. The level of presentation of the material is very multifaceted and, at the same time, not intrusive. Everyone has found something interesting and informative for themselves. Such excursions are remembered for many years. Patriotism in an absolutely natural form.
Bow to the guides!!!

We visited the museum with our family in September 2023.
The impression is strong, local historians have done a lot of work.
Interesting compositions. Our guide Galina Grigoryevna is a loving and reverent person who treats his work.
Thanks to everyone who is related to this wonderful museum.
Especially icons and salaries are something!

A very beautiful town is quiet and calm, the museum building evokes the old times18 or the beginning of the 19th centuries. The exhibition of the museum of Old Believers icons is a masterpiece to see, the samovar collection is huge, as well as ancient first-printed books, the weaving art of those times is also interesting, the first floor of the ancient people their way of life causes a lot of emotions and impressions, as well as a pleasant guide who showed us all this and told us the history of the region!

The museum is located on the Red Square of Vetka.
The building is small, renovated, with a picturesque facade, clean.
On the 1st floor there is an exposition of boats, a cart, utensils, household and household items, a stylized workplace of Bogomaz, as well as icons of the Burning Bush, several icons of the Theotokos ognevidnaya, etc. There's a salary meeting in the next room.

On the 3rd floor there is a collection of Old Believers' books.
A ticket for 1 adult costs about 3 bel.rubles × 30 = 100 ross.rubles'.

A beautiful 3-storey museum. If you connect Wi-Fi at the entrance, you get a full audio tour. What is not in it, the caretakers of the hall will answer.
It's difficult to make cool photos, lighting spoils half.
Without a guide (even audio) impressions for 2+. Nothing is clear, but as in the joke "poor, but clean." The signs are not informative, they do not reveal anything. You walk around like a "collection of junk". Without a guide (at least audio) - wasted money.
I especially want to note: when I got Internet access in 2 minutes, I got more information about the building as a whole and about its surroundings than the people working there.

A unique museum with a unique theme. The objects tell a different story, which took place from the second half of the XVII century. If you are not an expert in religious history, take a guided tour

Цудоўны музэй, цікавая экспазіцыя. Раю узяць экскурсавода. Дзяўчынка па беларуску ўсё настолькі цікава распавядала, слухалі з задавальненнем, даведаліся шмат новага. Здаецца маленькі музэй, а на агляд экспазіцыі заняло 3 гадзіны. Абавязкова да наведвання.

Having visited the museum today on an excursion with Alexander Sergeevich, the world just turned upside down. It is definitely worth visiting this museum, with this particular guide. Alexander Sergeevich is a true professional in his field, who loves his museum and knows everything down to the smallest detail. He will tell a real "live" story, such information you will not find in any book. This museum is definitely one of the most memorable in my life! 10/10
