The Nature Museum of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is the largest natural history museum in the Republic of Belarus in terms of its design and collection. It is also, as presented in its website, the one with the greatest amount of visitors per year: around 150 thousand.
We visited this Museum during Summer 2022 while spending four weeks in Eastern Europe and working remotely from there. The building in which the Museum is located was built in 2009 to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the Belovezhskaya Pushcha nature reserve. It has a conference hall for 140 seats, which is usually used for conferences or meetings.
The museum has three large and two small themed halls with a total area of 1,320 square meters, which are mainly represented by faunistic collections with the addition of individual elements of the plant world. The expositions are aimed to be made with the maximum approach to reality, reflect the richness of species and the forest ecosystems of Belovezhskaya Pushcha.
Some photos I took during our visit to the Museum and National Forest are presented below.
