Things to do in Minsk, Belarus: The Best Art Museums
Serving as both the capital of Belarus and the headquarters of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Minsk is a hub of business and government. Although few older buildings survived WWII bombings and Stalinist construction projects, Belarusians are proud of their capital's long history and its continued cultural importance. The city boasts 16 museums, 11 theaters, and 139 libraries, including the National Library of Belarus, with collections housed in a towering glass geometric ball.

1. Memorial Museum-Workshop of Z.I. Azgur

5.0 based on 18 reviews
The Museum “Zair Azgur Memorial Studio” is a unique place as it is the only monographic museum in Belarus founded on the basis of the workshop of the academy of arts and Azgur’s private studio. The building was built for this purpose in 1984 and in 1996 after the death of the sculptor became the museum. This workshop was his most favourite one as it constantly inspired him on creating his masterpieces. Although the main mission of our museum is to preserve and populize the herritage of the great master we move in different directions nowadays as practically any museum nowadays. Various exsibitions of modern art take place here representing both well-known and forgotten authors. Besides we organize numerous cinema, music and theatre festivals becoming the platform for the development and self-fulfillment of the talented youth.

3. Interactive Music Museum
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 27 reviews
An interactive museum with unique collection of musical instruments from very rare and expensive (grand piano, harp, double bass, harpsichord, sitar...) to completely unusual sound therapy instruments (singing bowls, cauchy bells, the sound of the ocean...). You can touch and play on most of the instruments and participate in interactive programs from professional musicians, as well as enjoy delightful miniatures and pieces of art and experiments of the physics of sound to learn the inspiring world of music! The total number of exhibits in the museum is more than 300 and it's a fun both for adults and children to try yourself being musician or conductor, or just to have a rest in the atmosphere of art!

A wonderful art gallery in the heart of Minsk showcasing Belarusian art from the past few centuries. One pays around £3 to enter, a little more if you wish to take photos. The old stone building is attached to a grand and impressive modern extension. This holds yet more art. I was greatly impressed by the breadth of the collection and recommended spending an hour or so browsing. It's centrally located on vulica Lienina and there is a cafe which looked pleasant.
