I'm thrilled. A very interesting and informative museum. Friendly staff, ready to tell and show everything. The guide conducted an exciting, eventful tour. I really liked the story about making layouts.
There is an opportunity to see the sights of Belarus both on mockups and in virtual reality.
A large souvenir shop. There is something to choose for yourself and your friends.
Thanks to the creators and staff for the wonderful museum!

Very beautiful and detailed layouts, I love layouts and everything related to them. There is an audio confirmation for each of the exhibits. It all looks especially cool when you look at the sights that have already been destroyed, for example, the Ruzhansky Castle. Compared to other exhibits, it looks like the largest structure. It so happened that we first visited the museum, and the next day, passing through, we were just in Ruzhany. You can immediately clearly imagine the scale of the palace there, I hope the state will invest and restore this beautiful structure. Lay at least 1.5 hours (for 22 or 21 layouts) + for a separate fee, there are vr glasses (for another 15-20 minutes) in which you can visit these exhibits inside. The only thing you can get tired of is unaccustomed, my nose is numb.
The only drawback is the old equipment: flimsy headphones, you can use your phone, of course, but if you have a newer model and there is no longer a connector for wired headphones, it will not be so convenient. We were given one phone and one earphone for two, respectively, it was uncomfortable (
I attach a photo of the layout of the Ruzhansky castle and ruins

I visited the museum "Country
Mini'
All information is presented here.
Belarus and its main
attractions in the form
of architectural miniatures.
You can either
walk through the exposition yourself, or
take an audio guide that
will tell you the basic
information about a particular
attraction.
It is also interesting that many of
the objects
are interactive-you press
a button and the characters start
moving or the
light turns on in the castle windows.
To make it even
more interesting, before starting
the inspection, you are given a checklist where
you need to complete certain
tasks or find
some objects in the exhibition.
And at the end, they give you VR glasses
with which you can
take a virtual
trip to all
the sights that you have just seen in
miniature.
You can take a walk around
Belovezhskaya Pushcha or
wander through the halls of the castle.
In general, it is very
interesting, I definitely
recommend you to visit

I love miniature museums and try to visit them in different cities, this one is very nice and cozy, and in general I recommend it to visit, but I would like to highlight a number of comments:
- the museum is small, if there are a lot of people, it is not very comfortable to squeeze between the exhibits.
- there is little interaction: the buttons under the exhibits only change the light, there are no moving trains / cars / figures.
- I noticed that there are a lot of miniatures in Belarus outside of this museum: in castles, in the dana mall shopping center, and even in the hotel I saw one) for an adult, these minks will most likely be enough (if you only want to look), with a child you can look into the museum.

I brought a friend who had been here with a child before. The museum is small, there is a choice of independent visits, there is an audio guide, a VR tour and a regular tour with a guide.
As people who love excursions, they chose the last option for 30 rubles and were delighted. The tour lasts 45 minutes, there is a lot of information, but you don't have time to get tired. The miniatures are beautifully designed, there are lighting, interactive elements, it is clear that people have invested a lot in the museum so that the visit here would be exciting.
I would like to mention the guide Antonina separately — a cool presentation, lively, with humor, I listened almost with my mouth open. And thank her very much, because it certainly added more pleasure to the visit.
Of the disadvantages, I can only mention the administrator, who met us at the checkout and talked to us with complete indifference, or with irritation because we did not want to take a ticket with VR.
If it wasn't for my friend, I probably would have left right away.
But I didn't regret a minute that I stayed. Thank you so much for such a wonderful museum 🤩

The best miniature museum I've been to!! An interesting interactive representation of thumbnails. The voice narrator describes everything in great detail. There are also VR glasses where you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of castles in the present time! For a delicious price, you can see such beauty and the diligence of people! A must-visit! I highly recommend it!
Thank you for such a detailed and beautiful tour! ♥️

The Museum of Architectural Miniatures of Belarus. It is located in the wonderful building of the Republican Palace of Culture of Trade Unions. A monumental, beautiful building built in 1956. By the way, this building is represented in the mini museum as an exhibit. An audio track is selected for each object of the museum. You will learn about the date of creation, the architect, the history of the object and you will want to go and look at the layout of the area. You should definitely go. All the best that is in Belarus.

A very pleasant museum! We were with friends on a face-to-face tour, we really enjoyed it! Diana, the tour guide, is a very sweet and cheerful girl, she told us about the layouts in an interesting and informative way, introducing us to the main sights of Minsk and Belarus in general. There are also interesting souvenirs in the museum, you can buy potatoes, a Belaz model and a pen with a ruler, a level, screwdrivers and a tablet stylus. I recommend you to visit!

The museum is a must-visit if you are not familiar with the main sights of Belarus. The audio guide that is given at the entrance will tell you about everything in detail. And for us, this was the main and biggest advantage of visiting this museum. Now we know exactly where else we would like to go in Belarus, and which places to visit! Therefore, I give the highest rating) As for the execution of the layouts, we saw the Grand Layout Russia Museum in St. Petersburg, and, of course, this museum loses a lot to it. But who has nothing to compare it with, I think they will like it. The museum has a photo zone and a children's area. The museum is open on Mondays, when many other museums are closed.

Recently, a group visited the Museum of the sights of Belarus and were impressed. The exposition includes magnificent interactive exhibitions that immerse you in the culture and history of the country. I was particularly impressed by the Easter eggs that appear on many layouts. We learned a lot about the beautiful castles of Belarus. I would like to say a special thanks to the guide Diana. We recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history and culture of this wonderful country!

A wonderful museum. We were with my daughter on August 22, 2024. The exposition consists of miniatures of the main sights of Belarus. There is an audio guide. You can download it to your phone or you will be given a phone and a headset. It would not be superfluous to take your wired headphones. The extended package includes a VR journey. Take one and you won't regret it. An adult ticket is 22 Belarusian rubles. They accept the card or through St. Petersburg. The staff-the girls are very nice, responsive, they connected everything, paid without problems, they will tell you everything, they will help. There is a souvenir shop, a photo zone. The exhibits are filigree copies, very cool. You have a great opportunity to see the whole of Belarus at once, form an opinion about these places and then choose a real excursion. Thank you very much for this opportunity to the one who came up with it! It is located in the center of Minsk, convenient to get to.

We visited the museum in October 2024. It is very informative, interesting, made with great love and dedication, the museum has excellent staff. There are 22 layouts in the collection, an audio guide is issued, it is possible to go through the entire exposition at your own pace. All layouts are interactive, illuminated, and some have various Easter eggs hidden on them, which makes viewing even more exciting (you can take a checklist with hints at the checkout). In general, the impressions are the most wonderful, I wish the creators and staff of the museum prosperity and grateful visitors. We will advise our friends!

A good location in the city center, right next to the Oktyabrskaya metro station, is very convenient. Young smiling employees (and female employees))))) at the reception. It's great that you can wander through several castles and palaces at once, embrace our not-so-small country)) Plus, in this museum you can plan future excursions already in real life: go around everything in advance, plan everything so that later on the spot you know exactly what you want to visit in a particular city.
I used an electronic "guide", I liked it. However, I'm afraid there won't be enough "regular" phones for all visitors, so I think it would be nice to additionally place QR codes next to the exhibits so that everyone can listen to the tours on their device. Special thanks for the opportunity to "go inside" all these beautiful buildings using VR helmets. Well, and, of course, souvenirs — where without them, in good memory of the Belarusian Madurodam))) In general, we can only wish the museum to expand and further improve, because we always want to do everything more and better — this is our common human nature. The beginning has been made, it will only get better from now on!

It's an awesome museum. I didn't even expect so many impressions in one place. Friendly administrators will show you everything and tell you everything. The most famous buildings of Belarus on the same site. A very interesting audio guide. VR visit is beyond praise, in 20 minutes you can see all the sights that you listened to before. It's like I've been everywhere. A solid five plus!

The mini-country is a very interesting museum, where, using the example of the layouts presented here, you can get acquainted with the main sights of Belarus. The entrance fee includes an audio guide that helps you briefly familiarize yourself with the history of each attraction. You can also buy unique souvenirs here and, as far as I understand, book an excursion to some places (this will need to be clarified with the museum staff). I would also like to thank intern Vasilisa, who not only asked about my impressions of the museum, but also shared her thoughts and impressions about the beauties of Grodno, inspiring me to want to visit this city. It's nice to see such interested people! In general, the staff is very polite, friendly and always ready to help if necessary!

Unexpectedly, I really liked the museum. It is located on the lower floor of the Palace of Culture of Trade Unions, occupies a small area, I would like it to be more spacious and have more air, but as it is. The museum presents famous architectural objects of our republic on models, everything is handmade, beautiful lighting, many small details. Young girls conduct an exciting tour, weave legends into the story, ask interesting questions along the way and give small prizes for correct answers, entertaining both adults and children. I recommend the museum to visit.

It is located on the 1st floor. There is a dimmed light inside, there is a wardrobe.
Unfortunately, the impressions after visiting this place are very crumpled.
The staff is polite and friendly - this is a plus.
The cost of visiting is not cheap. There is an option to watch it yourself, with a guide and some other video. We chose the option of self-viewing, but after visiting, there is a persistent feeling that "it wasn't worth it" ...
There are about 15 exhibits inside (miniature layouts). Some of them have a button that turns on/off the light. However, one or two didn't work. There is no mechanization or movement in the objects.
In general, I personally was "not hooked".

An interesting exposition of most of the most famous sights of Belarus in miniature. The audio guide allows you to get detailed information about the history of each object. After that, you can visit every landmark, traveling around the country by car. The trick of local cashiers is a little unclear - Russians are offered to pay for tickets through the SBP in order to allegedly save on conversion. In fact, no savings are possible. And the recipient of the payment is some kind of sole proprietor from Balashikha in the Moscow region.

We visited the museum of miniatures with pleasure, accompanied by an audio guide, you can very comfortably examine each layout at your own pace. I wanted to travel all over Belarus. Unfortunately, we got here on the last day of our stay in the country, which we really regretted. We recommend everyone to visit the museum of miniatures first, and travel with existing ideas about the city and the country and discover Belarus and Minsk.

A very nice and interesting place where you can find a lot of elaborate miniatures and layouts. For those who are interested in architecture and do not want to go anywhere — masthev. You can walk for a very long time and inspect all the exhibits, having a good time. I advise you to come to the company. There is also a VR room, which is also quite interesting, especially if this VR has never been touched with your eyes. Among other things, I would like to note the friendliness and responsiveness of the staff. Anastasia, who was in the VR zone, especially fell into my soul. A very sweet and enlightened girl.

An atmospheric and pleasant place, expectations coincided with reality. Before traveling to cities and suburbs in Belarus, I recommend visiting the layout, the priorities and key desired directions will be immediately clear.
In addition, personal communication with Eugene made a proper impression. We wish you good luck and productive development of the museum.
P.S. we forgot to say that being on the square, the museum was difficult to find, and the employees of neighboring institutions could not fully indicate the way. On the website, you can describe in more detail how to find you, with a photo, not just a diagram.

In this room you will find models of 24 main architectural landmarks of Belarus.
When you buy a ticket, the polite staff provides you with a phone with the app installed and headphones. The application indicates for each object its location, how to get to it, where you can stop and eat, as well as an audio story about the object itself lasting about three minutes. It's just a pity that audio playback speed adjustment is not supported yet, I would like to be able to increase it.
By the way, the application itself can be downloaded for free from the AppStore. The information from it can be used to create a tourist route around the country, especially if you have not had the opportunity to visit all these places before.
The layout is characterized by good detail and interesting "Easter eggs" (I love this). I recommend the place to visit, but still, for the sake of objectivity, I have to note some minor disadvantages. Each layout is separate in itself (another concept is closer to me) and I want even higher detail and more interactivity. Besides, it's hard to take pictures, there's a lot of glare from the glass.
