The capital of Belarus is a beautiful, clean city with many things to see and to do. It has a rich culture and a lot of history.

If you’re interested in art, you can visit one of the museums in Minsk. Museum “Zair Azgur Memorial Studio” is a must-see, as it displays the life of this famous Soviet sculptor.

Museum “Zair Azgur Memorial Studio”

Founded on the basis of the sculptor Zair Azgur’s private studio, this is the only monographic museum in Belarus. It is a great place to learn about the history of a master sculptor who achieved prominence during the Soviet era.

The sculptor’s work is impressive and worth a look. There are many different artefacts to see here, from personal items to works of fine art.

In addition to being a cultural institution, the National Library is also home to a museum and an exhibition center. Its main goal is to protect the historical documentary heritage of Belarus and encourage people to learn about their culture.
