Museums & Galleries
Just recently, the museums of Minsk have not been very fond of little children. But lately, these institutions have become friendlier for a young audience: there are interactive excursions, quests, game activities, paleontology rooms.
The National Art Museum (vulicaLienina, 20). You probably know that here you can find collections of the ancient Belarusian art, fine art of Europe, China, Japan and Asia, as well as paintings and graphics by the masters of decorative and applied arts of Belarus of the 20th century. But children will enjoy interactive programs and game museum classes more. Sometimes they organize “children days” here, when children of any age have access to the “Museum City of Arts”: they collect puzzles, draw, model, take pictures, complete quests and have fun.
The Historical Museum(vulica Karla Marksa, 12) is worth visiting with children. Even if during your visit there are only serious exhibitions for adults, you can always leave the child in the children's room (unfortunately, there are no such rooms in other museums), or in the paleontologist's room, where children can participate in archaeological excavations.
The Museum of Childhood (praspiekt Niezaležnasci, 28, room 24a) is, in fact, a toy museum. Here they understand that it is much more interesting for boys and girls not only to walk around the museum and stare at the dolls but to play with them, solve quests and take part in “adventures”. There are about 450 exhibits in the museum.
The Cat Museum (vulica Internacyjanalnaja, 23). Here you can play with cats, draw them and exhibit your picture right here in the museum, have a look at works of art with cats playing the main role and drink tea in the company of cats in a cat cafe.
There are four science museums in Minsk: the Museum of Entertaining Sciences Kvantum (praspiektGaziety Pravda, 29), the Park of Scientific Miracles Evrikum (vulicaPiatra Mscislaŭca, 11), Elemento(praspiektNiezaležnasci, 116) and Experimentus (praspiektPieramožcaŭ, 9). Kvantum is the largest one and is focused on science. There is a planetarium, a fire engine, crooked mirrors and a room with soap bubbles. Evrikum is more entertaining with a rotating tunnel, glass labyrinths, and a gravity room. Elemento is located in the National Library and offers a small collection of scientific exhibits. And in Experimentus you can conduct various experiments and observe unusual physical phenomena.
