We visited this museum during some days we spent working remotely while visiting my in laws. We spent a weekend in Minsk and took advantage to visit it.
The Museum is considered to be the largest art museum in Belarus. It comprises more than thirty thousands works of art, which make up various collections organized in two big sections: the one of national art and the other of art monuments of various countries of the world. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, which we visited as well.
The photos presented below illustrate some of the pieces of artwork that captured my attention most.
