The Soviet Union was no slacker when it came to culture, leaving a strong legacy behind of pride in art, music, theatre, and dance.
Along with these classic pursuits, Minsk has also evolved into a strong centre for contemporary culture including avant-garde art, experimental films, and a continuously evolving underground music scene. Minsk's many museums also offer a fine window into the tumultuous history of this fascinating nation. Check out our directory for some ideas on where to experience the best of Minsk culture!
Quite moving indeed... Although the original plan was to pay tribute to soldiers who died in Afghanistan, the memorial unveiled in 1996 is dedicated to all Sons of their Home Country who died overseas...
Hi Editor, Do you know any English cinema or theater around? my wife said its all in Russian even English films are dubbed in Russian. will be visiting my wife for xmas and new year:)
Quite surprised at how good this gallery actually was. Definitely go there if you have any interest at all in the contemporary art scene in Belarus.
The single best thing about Minsk! Incredible performers, great space.
It was OK but needs some money spent on it to display the items better
