It's a good museum. The janitor is disgusting, I live nearby and I've been running into him for years. You walk with a dog, it sweeps right under your feet, into the dog's face, and smiles nastily. In front of the museum, on the right side of the house, there is a sadist who torments his dog every day. And all the norms, including the administration.
Everything is fine. The exposition, the guide's story, things and everyday life of that time

A cozy place. Admission and guided tour at normal prices. There were three of us and the tour was conducted anyway. The guide was a nice girl Victoria, who talked very interestingly about the artist.
There is a souvenir shop, but it is quite small. You will be lucky if you see a female violinist playing Jewish music near the monument to Marc Chagall)
A very modest house, viewing if you do not particularly consider the pictures and photos posted on the wall takes about 3 minutes. You can visit in order to say - I was here😉
An interesting place in the city, the things of a bygone century are carefully collected. An amazing corner in the center of Vitebsk! I want to go back there again and again.
It is very interesting to visit the house where the great artist lived. The interior is so artfully recreated that it perfectly conveys the atmosphere in which Chagall lived in Vitebsk.
An interesting house.
I advise you to take a guided tour.
It was 10 years ago, the whole house was hung with tourists from America and Europe, like a Christmas tree, which prevented a full visit.
Now, in the light of well-known events, there are no tourists, the atmosphere is intimate, you can feel the whole aura of a poor Jewish family in Vitebsk region, where the artist's talent originated.
Not impressed! Most of the exhibits are copies of photographs, most likely printed from the global network. And the artist's work can hardly be called our national, as for me, it is difficult - Chagall lived most of his life far from his homeland -at that time he was not in demand here.
In general, this museum is the biggest disappointment from visiting Vitebsk
A complete deception of the workers! Not only is there not a single Chagall painting, but not even a single reproduction. Only photos of the family and utensils that are not related to the artist. 3 small rooms, one of which is an entrance hall with an usher. There are not even posters of paintings at the box office, only magnets. Disappointed. It was not possible to enjoy the artist's work.
We visited the museum with delight, impressed by the fact that we preserved the structure itself, and what we managed to do, from the life of the artist, a holistic impression is created from the house territory, during the apple harvest it is very sincere
The cool Marc Chagall Museum.
To go without an excursion - you will not understand anything.
An ordinary tour guide - well, frankly, not very much.
As a result, I went with the children, and then I also bought a book with large pages. That's where it's cool!
But in general, the museum is very interesting, and not far from it there is also an artist's art gallery!
It will be interesting only with a guide. The house is small, you can walk around on your own in 5-10 minutes, without understanding or learning anything about the Chagall family, lifestyle, traditions and, of course, the life of Marc Chagall. The house has been preserved since those times, the interior has been recreated. The original sculpture is in the courtyard, there is a souvenir shop.
Inside, the House is a Museum to the great artist, a museum like millions of others. Furniture of "that period", photographs, engravings...
But the courtyard is a wai me, such beauty, there are no words and letters on the keyboard!.
If you go to Belarus, come in the spring.
Spring in the fraternal republic is so beautiful that springs in other countries (for example, the Middle East and North Africa) cannot be compared with it.
And I always liked one of Comrade Chagall's paintings more than twice in a row, and I will tell you gently: "According to the curators, the exhibition called Revolution should demonstrate the entire range of creative searches of Russian and Soviet artists of the revolutionary and first post-revolutionary years: from the avant-garde to the birth of socialist realism.
It was socialist realism that was destined to become the only direction in art, officially... [by the official authorities].
The Russian Museum has sent 53 works to London.
Among them are textbook works such as "The Walk" (1917) by Marc Chagall..." (https://rg.ru/2017/02/12/v-akademii-iskusstv-v-londone-otkrylas-vystavka-russkogo-iskusstva.html ).
The house museum itself is beautiful, it's like a portal to the past! An interesting exposition, a beautiful garden in the courtyard. But! Please arrange a restroom that does not humiliate human dignity. Because blue plastic booths, overflowing with contents from, as it seems, the Chagall era, are not a cultural asset and can be replaced with decent toilets.
In the house museum, you can plunge into Chagall's childhood and youth with a guide, a lot of photos and information, very entertaining!

A tiny house, just a micro, studio apartment, there is nothing to see, there are practically no exhibits, very modestly, if you go there, then only as part of a tour, and even then you have to be a direct fan of Chagall. Sorry for the time spent. In general, it is very similar to a simple collection of money.
The Memorial Museum of the Belarusian-born artist Marc Chagall, opened after his death. It was there that the childhood and youth of the author of the paintings "Walk", "Over the city" passed. "Muse" and others. A small brick building in which a very large family lived and sold herring and hardware there. It's probably good that the memory of people, even if they left for permanent residence in another country, remains.
The Marc Chagall House Museum, of course, is worth a visit, this "outgoing nature" allows you to look into the already distant past. Unfortunately, the museum has not found a single work by this very productive artist, even from his Vitebsk period. The exposition is interesting, the interior retains the character of authenticity. There is a large deserted parking lot nearby.
The idea is interesting. But we visited on weekends. There were large delegations before and after us and there was "nowhere to turn" in a small house.
