The building in which the museum is located is very beautiful and striking in its beauty. In the main building (in the historical building) there are paintings by Russian artists of the Romanov dynasty - the works of Repin and his students, Aivazovsky, there are works by Vrubel. If you have often visited the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, then the first building of the museum will be native to you, since most of the works will be recognizable. There are also miniatures of horses from the Anichkin Bridge, the same miniatures are located in the Tretyakov Gallery. In other buildings attached to the museum there are works of Asia, India, works by Italian artists, as well as preserved objects of local art - the Lithuanian Principality. In the same new building on the floor above, you can find works from the time of the existence of the BSSR. The museum is very interesting and informative, as a tourist I really liked the museum - it seems to combine the grains of the Russian Museum and the Hermitage at the same time.
I was also surprised by the fact that the museum hosts photo shoots of the newlyweds, as well as organized practice for students and activities for children in the halls of the museum.

The museum is certainly worth attention and is recommended for visiting by both guests of Minsk and local residents.
A beautiful majestic building, the architecture and monumentality of the structure are impressive.
Several exhibition halls, including in the new buildings, do not need to leave the building, they are connected by galleries and passages.
The history of the museum is both tragic and vital - during the Second World War, during the difficult time of occupation, the collection was almost completely lost, taken by the Nazis to private collections and museums in Germany. But thanks to such incredible enthusiasts of museum business as Elena Vasilyevna Aladova
Director of the State Art Gallery (1944 – 1977), a new collection was assembled, including the largest in the world - Belarusian art (painting, sculpture, applied art).
Now it is a very worthy collection, about 37,000 different exhibits, among them masterpieces of national art and different countries and peoples.
Russian Russian classical painting of the 18th and 20th centuries was a special gift to me - paintings by Polenov, Aivazovsky, Tropinin, Shishkin, Levitan, Kustodiev, Repin, Korovin, the famous "Moonlit Night on the Dnieper" by Arkhip Kuindzhi (author's replica), the first painting was painted in 1880, is kept in the State Russian Museum of St. Petersburg (Oil on canvas. 105 × 146 cm).
Other versions of the canvas are kept in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow (oil on canvas, 104 × 143 cm, 1882), the Simferopol Art Museum ("Night on the Dnieper", oil on canvas, 111 × 147 cm, 1882), the Astrakhan Art Gallery named after P. M. Gadadin ("Night on the Dnieper", oil on canvas, 110 × 146 cm, 1882, received from the Guchkov collection) and the National Art Museum of Belarus ("Night over the Dnieper", 1880s). There was another one in the Kiev Art Gallery (until 2017 — the Kiev Museum of Russian Art)...
A special place is occupied by the Collection of ancient Belarusian art (about 120 works of the XII — late XVIII centuries) - rarities of the past centuries, carefully preserved and allowing you to feel the flavor of Belarus, unique and unique (frescoes, icons, carved sculpture, book graphics, decorative and applied art).
The museum houses a large collection of works by Ivan Fomich Khrutsky, famous for his bright decorative still lifes ("Flowers and Fruits", "Flowers and Fruits", "Fruits and Candle", the second half of the 1830s). Landscapes and portraits from different years present in the exhibition the work of Apollinarius Gilarievich Goravsky, a native of the Minsk province, a graduate of the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts and a friend of Pavel Tretyakov.
The new buildings feature works
by modern authors, very talented and original.
And also the collection of Oriental art (China, Japan, Asia) requires special attention.
It is impossible to get around the entire museum in a day, and it is not necessary, it is better to stretch the pleasure and impressions, so plan a couple of days, you will not regret it!
I recommend it, with pleasure and pleasure!))

A gorgeous museum collection of picturesque masterpieces! Excellent layout of exhibits in the halls! A true enjoyment of art! Special thanks to the museum curators ♥️♥️♥️ - nice people, polite, suggested that you should not forget to look!!! But, in the very first minutes of my arrival at the museum, I wanted to turn around and leave! I am an ordinary researcher at the State Museum of the Russian Federation, an extremely polite and good-natured person, I never "sparkle" with regalia. I went to the ticket office and asked if I could visit the museum using a museum employee's ID? The lady at the checkout didn't like my question (it was obvious from my face) and I was directed to the administrator. I gave the administrator a certificate saying "Can I visit the museum for free, as an employee of the museum?", she made a face in response, then I came to ask for a loan for a piece of bread from bayaryni! Yes, I was allowed to go to the museum. But it was just a "great favor from the Empress herself"!!!! I walked away from the reception desk, not knowing where to go. I turned around, asked the same receptionist about the place of the beginning of the inspection, in response there was an "automatic burst" - "We have a free visit!". I didn't say anything, I think okay, I'll figure out the route myself. But in the back I heard the administrator say with a certain disgust in his voice: "Yeah... The keyword is "employee". I turned around and asked, "Colleagues, is something wrong?" The answer is "Nothing" (again from the master's shoulder). Maybe my story is too subjective, but at that moment I felt ashamed. I scolded myself in the first halls, why I showed this ID, etc. Thanks again to the beautiful young ladies, the caretakers and my favorite artists! Many thanks to the keepers and all colleagues! Walking through the halls, I forgot the nonsense from the lobby and got a lot of emotions from watching the exhibition! I wish the museum prosperity, strengthening the collection with new masterpieces and getting rid of people who do not know how to work with visitors!!!
