We visited the museum on April 24. A very rich and interesting exposition, modern, there are diaramas of Gomel, which tell about how fires occurred and their extinguishing in the city both before and after the appearance of the fire service. The material is rich, diverse, and there are many visual expositions for children. But the quality of service leaves much to be desired. The guide, it seems, does not know how to work with children. We brought a group of different ages (a small rural school, and anyone who wanted to went), which is why we listened to a lengthy tirade about how difficult and impossible it was for her to work with such a group. During the tour, she constantly expressed her irritation with the children: you went the wrong way, you were standing the wrong way, constantly tugging them, moving them from place to place. She argued with the teachers when we tried to literally protect our children from her attacks, behaved rudely and rudely with us adults. She didn't want to take us to the hall of the Chernobyl tragedy at all. After we insisted on visiting this exhibition, she took us to the hall, but did not conduct an excursion, arguing that children of different ages, she does not know how to work like that. We just looked at it ourselves, and we told the children about the history of this tragedy. As a result, with all the arguments, the tour lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes, although it was previously announced 1.5 hours. The children's impression of the museum is twofold: they liked the museum, but the "evil aunt" did not.
We visited the museum on 10/15/2024, pre-registered by phone. The expositions are very interesting, there are many exhibits, there are interactive diaramas, everything is at a very high level - done with a soul. Thanks to the staff for an interesting tour!
I give a minus to the guide. The place itself is very interesting. The 4th grade children were waiting for this tour. However, from the threshold they were immersed in the atmosphere of the prison. The guide showed irritation, tugged at the children's hands. And the children didn't touch anything. And just like that, a man placed children. She was rude to the teachers. She repeated more than once that she did not like elementary school. She was even annoyed by the fact that the children periodically moved and itched (there were midges on the street along the way).
She stopped the tour without permission.
The children were upset that they had not arrived everywhere. But they were glad that the "evil aunt" was gone.
It's a shame that such an interesting place has remained unexplored because of one person.
