I will give 5 stars to this location just for the honor of Soviet people. But the staff in the museum was very unfriendly. I was there with my little son and the way they treated us was rude. Constantly following our steps. The staff is 1 star !

A must see place in Minsk. Place of history and memory of the great Victory over brown plague. But better to experience with a guide.

An amazing museum!
Everyone who visits Minsk should visit this place.
The museum is deeply impressive both for its grandiose architectural embodiment and for its exposition.
An important recommendation is to visit the museum with a tour group (there is a schedule). The guide's story will leave deep impressions. A full-scale picture of what the Belarusian and Russian people had to go through during the war will open up before you. Everyone should definitely know this.
The territory of the museum passes Victory Park, a good place for a walk. There are memorial fountains in the park, and an excursion boat runs along the river.

Pride in our country❤️Very impressive and large-scale. A worthy memory of the feat of the Soviet people, the Soviet soldier and the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. Every hall, every installation evokes the most tremulous emotions. Everything has been thought out to the smallest detail. A storm of emotions is caused by a hall dedicated to the horrific inhumanity, the victims of concentration camps. And as the brightest chord of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, this is the Victory Hall!
How finely and precisely the information and design are chosen. The incredible Light and cleanliness, the transparent dome with the waving flag of the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics, the Victory flag touches to the very heart and fills

The museum itself is simply wonderful, the expositions and halls are informative, interesting and impressive. but! There was a feeling that we were not welcome…We came with my husband and child at about 15:30-16, bought tickets and clarified whether it was possible to take an individual tour, we were sent to the administrator, they clarified it again and she said with a grin, "Yeah, you're generally late, you need to come to the museums earlier, the time is already at 4..." would you agree that this statement is superfluous? Well, the guides left for the routes and left, it's okay, we'll look for ourselves, additional comments to our address are unnecessary. Then two hours later we enter the last halls 10 and 11, which are located on the 1st floor, there are a lot of interactive expositions: screens with photos, sound devices, just sound near objects, lights, etc. I'm standing and looking at the photos on the screen, flipping through them, tears come, I'm just very immersed in it and then I see that the lights are starting to turn off at the other end of the hall, and my husband and son were there, I step away from the screen to see what happened, why there is no light, a woman comes, turns off the screen mine turns off all sounds, turns off the lights in other parts of the hall, I leave it to see where my husband and son are, the time for a minute was 17:50... I just leave, they immediately lock the door. It turns out that they are starting to prepare for closure, although the museum itself is open until 19 ... why they began to do this so early is not clear, and even if these halls close earlier (my guess is, otherwise it is not clear why they close the halls before closing), then the same administrator instead of poking us with the fact that we supposedly they came late, she could have suggested that there are halls in museums that close earlier, because she sits there to help people, prompt and answer questions…
But I recommend visiting everything exactly to everyone, this is our history, the terrible history of the entire USSR and many other countries, unfortunately there are very, very few such museum expositions…

The museum is very modern, well equipped technically, the narrative is well read, full immersion in all the hardships of wartime.
I highly recommend combined excursions, I was lucky to get on such a tour guide Victoria, knows the material perfectly, the story comes to life in her words. In an hour and a half, I felt the huge emotional effect of the museum objects combined with the tour - it seemed to me that every listener could barely hold back tears, especially in the halls about the occupation regime.
On the downside, I didn't really understand why there are no discounts for visiting graduate students. But in general, of course, a regular ticket is not expensive at all. I definitely recommend you to visit.

The museum is one of my favorites. Large, spacious, good expositions. The child always enjoys visiting and always finds something new. Special thanks to the staff, competent and sincere people. I would like to make a small request, highlight information on photo and video shooting at the entrance and at the checkout in order to avoid misunderstandings. Otherwise, everything is fine.

One of the most amazing museums dedicated to the Great Patriotic War, which I have visited. Everyone is required to visit - both citizens and tourists from faraway lands. This is our history - the history of the common Fatherland. The feat of a Soviet soldier should never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone who built this museum, collected material. A huge amount of large-scale equipment, including captured ones. Book a few hours to explore the museum and be sure to take a tour!

A great museum. Probably the best one I've ever visited. A huge exposition, it is clear that everything was done with great respect for the history of the Great Patriotic War. Excellent guides, interesting stories about the history of Belarus during the war. I recommend definitely visiting if you are in Minsk. It is imperative to show the children, otherwise they will hear enough of modern pseudo-historians that "all the exploits of the Soviet people were invented, and the Americans won the war" and then they think so...

It is a very interesting museum that contains dioramas, equipment, and military exhibits. For a small amount, you can take part in a group sightseeing tour, which will quickly and interestingly run through the main exhibits in an hour. The gorgeous bright victory hall.
And in general, they talk very worthily and interestingly about the role of the Belarusian people in the Great Patriotic War.

The museum is wonderful! Impressive in its scale. All the expositions have been created in a very interesting way. Recreated scenes from the military past. The architecture of the museum itself is impressive, the lines between the floors are erased, the expositions smoothly replace each other. The "Hall of Fame" is generally grandiose. We were there in sunny weather. The sun's rays greatly emphasized the grandeur of the place. Definitely worth a visit there! I was on an excursion with the children, I couldn't see much in detail myself, but it's a pity...

A very strong impression. I thought it would be a little boring for the children, as it often happens in museums, but here 4 hours flew by like a blink!
The museum is huge, several floors, tanks, planes, cars, everything is real, full-fledged installations, with earth, grass, swamps, rails.. Unbelievable! Panoramas, sounds, layout of the Brest fortress..
We took a sightseeing tour, it flew by like a flash, although it lasted more than two hours. And then they went all over again from beginning to end.
I definitely recommend it

The museum was very impressed. A large number of military equipment and weapons. Impressive reconstructions of fragments: battles, life and everyday life of partisan detachments, death camps. It is necessary for young people to visit in order to understand what WAR is! There are many interesting artifacts: a gas mask for a horse, machine guns and machine guns collected by guerrilla craftsmen from various types of weapons. I definitely recommend you to visit.

The museum is not bad, there is a large area inside the building (several floors). Navigation is not very clear, perhaps everything is convenient with a guide, but without an excursion, the sequence of the route is not always clear. There seems to be a lot of technology, but it often gets mixed up. There is no cafe inside or near the museum, so it is better to feed the child in advance, or take something with you.

It is a crime to be in Minsk and not visit this museum! Qualified staff, a huge collection of exhibits. The exposition of paintings by the artist M.A. Savitsky, Hero of the Soviet Union, prisoner of concentration camps, was especially striking. I don't mention cleanliness and order at all, since this parameter is the default in all of Belarus. It can be described for a long time, but you need to see and feel for yourself. Goosebumps...

Visited on 2.01.2025. The parking lot is small next to the museum, there was a place at 10.20. We watched the exhibition as part of a tour group at 10.30 a.m. It was the beginning. I was lucky with the guide, he told me everything very interestingly. I advise you to visit with children to better understand the horrors of war. Prices can be viewed on the website. On public holidays, it is better to arrive early, as there are many visitors.

It's a good museum. I really liked the installations and interactive screens. The only drawback was that they could not purchase an audio guide. There is a good cafeteria where you can refresh yourself after visiting the expositions. There are many tour groups. It's not very convenient to maneuver between them.

An amazing museum! I advise everyone. At the very beginning, you immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the war years, I was struck to tears by the musical accompaniment.
The 4 floors of the museum reflect all stages of the war, being very close to the exhibits, there is a complete immersion and it seems to you that you are standing on the battlefield.
The domed Victory Hall caused a lot of emotions. You can feel the power and freedom.
At night, it is amazingly illuminated by friends!

The museum was very impressive. A rich, thoughtful exposition. Powerful, to the point of tears. It is better to visit with an excursion or an audio guide. We took an audio guide - we didn't regret it. 3 hours passed - it turned out at a calm pace, thoughtfully. The audio guide is very informative, it will guide you through all the halls and showcases in the right logic. It seemed that there were a couple of places where something changed a little in the exposition, but the audio guide remained the same. If you manage to update it, it will be super!

A very large museum dedicated to the Second World War.
Made to last. The scale of the exhibitions is not inferior to the museums in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the Russian Federation. The museum is divided into halls, each of which tells about individual events or participants in the war. The entrance ticket is 11 bel.rub., there is also an audio guide, but if possible, take a tour, since the exhibition is large and it is easy to miss a lot of information on your own. Recommend. It gives you goosebumps at times ..

A cool (if I may say so about this object) museum. New, fresh, modern. The museum is interactive, there are many exhibits, a huge elegant (goosebumps-inducing) hall of Fame. There is a sovereign, a children's room, an elevator, a convenient entrance and Parking available, everything is thought out very conveniently. Let's come back again.

We haven't been to the museum inside, we liked it outside. Such a waterfall fountain is cool, especially when it was hot outside, it was nice to be nearby. The sculptures are beautiful, everything is clean. Unfortunately, we got there only in the evening and everything was already closed. The fountains have also already been turned off in the park near the museum, it's sad, of course, I really wanted to see it, but we still enjoyed walking in the park!

I come to this museum every time I come to Minsk. I've always dreamed of bringing my children to this museum, showing them photos, telling them a lot about it. We came to Minsk with the children for the competition, with difficulty, but we found time to visit the museum. Unfortunately, we didn't know the exact schedule in advance, so we couldn't book the tour in advance. A group of 13 children (9-12 years old) and 10 adults came to the museum. There was no guide for our group (we were on a weekday at about 14:00, there were not many visitors to the museum), the administrator was surprised by the words that the children would not be interested in the tour anyway. The audio guide was also not recommended, as it is also not interesting for children!? There was a group of adult men in the museum, for whom several museum staff conducted a quest. By the way, we did not meet any other organized groups at the museum. They just wouldn't let us into the first two halls, because the same quest was taking place there. When the children sat down to watch a film about the parade on November 7, 1941, an employee of the museum approached us and asked us to take the children away, since the participants of the quest needed to watch the film here and they could not wait ... the children were not allowed to watch the film. After viewing the main exhibition of the museum, we came to the children's museum. An employee of this part of the museum rudely rebuked the children, who, by the way, behaved perfectly, no interactive activities were offered and nothing was said about the exhibits at all to the children. In total, the children have a question: why did we come to this museum? Adults have a question why SUCH an exhibition is positioned as not interesting for children and why such an attitude towards children in general? The most annoying thing is that my children love and often visit museums. The topic of history is also interesting to them. The children went to this museum with very high expectations and in the end they were only disappointed. The museum itself can be rated 5, and the staff does not deserve 2. You can't treat your job that way!

An amazing museum! Three floors dedicated to the history of the Great Patriotic War. Exhibits from body watches to real battle tanks. A mandatory visit, the atmosphere is right immersed in that difficult time. We took a guide from a young blue-eyed guy-a real professional, obviously loves his job very much, gave answers to all our questions👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I can't help but leave a review! We went on a recommendation and took a guided tour. It was very interesting and informative, sometimes there were goosebumps and tears, a lot of original exhibits, impressive paintings by the artist, a former concentration camp prisoner, were on display. I recommend it to everyone. It is a must-visit in Minsk. By the way, the tour covers not only the Second World War, but also the beginning and background of the Second World War. Very informative.

The museum is beautiful, modern and made of high quality. A large collection of exhibits. I have heard the opinion that this is the best museum dedicated to the Second World War. Perhaps this is not far from the truth. The only thing that disappointed me was the tour: the guide was constantly confused, lost her way, and also told almost only well-known facts. But the information about the history of the partisan movement in Belarus turned out to be new to me.

A museum that every person who respects their ancestors who accomplished such a feat should visit. Those who defeated fascism and survived the horror of the war. Amazing expositions. Guides who know the history perfectly well. The story needs to be shown and told, especially to young people. And then much of what is happening today will be clearer and clearer.
