This museum was on my list of must-see places in Brest. And for good reason! I was delighted! Firstly, the museum building itself looks very unusual and modern, and secondly, the excavation makes an impression - it takes your breath away that after so many centuries the buildings are so well preserved, you can imagine how our distant ancestors lived. Thirdly, the exposition is very logically constructed, it is small, but coupled with an audio guide (which, by the way, is provided with free access via free Wi-Fi, which is important for tourists from Russia) gives a complete picture of the life and culture of the ancient inhabitants of these places. In terms of time, an inspection with an audio guide takes about an hour. All this cost only 7 Belarusian rubles, which is quite inexpensive compared to many other museums in Belarus. The bonus was also that we were practically alone in the museum🙂 so I highly recommend you to visit - it will be interesting for both adults and children👍

A very interesting museum with remarkably preserved wooden buildings of ancient Berestye (Brest).
In addition to the buildings, the museum has themed halls dedicated to the history, life and culture of the ancient city.
Each room has a description of the exhibits in Belarusian, Russian and English, and you can also download a convenient audio guide to your phone.

Berestye Archaeological Museum: A journey through time in the heart of Brest 🏛️
Address: Brest, Fortress passage, 15
The overall impression:
The Berestye Archaeological Museum made an amazing impression due to the excellent condition of the restored building. The museum offers a fascinating journey into the past and is a must-visit destination in Brest.
Exposition:
The exhibition is small, but very interesting. In the center of the hall there is a restored settlement, which was on the site of the founding of the city. The presented archaeological finds and stories about the origin of the name of the city and its development from the first settlements until recently are of great interest.
Advantages:
🏛️ Unique exposition: Interesting archaeological finds and stories about the development of the city.
Excellent condition: Renovated building and high-quality exposition.
📚 Information content: Detailed stories about the history of the city and its development.
Accessibility: The museum is fully accessible to people with limited mobility.
Cons:
🌡️ Temperature conditions: In extreme heat, the building, made in the form of a dome-tent, can be stuffy and hot, which reduces the comfort of visiting.
Recommendations:
I recommend visiting the Berestye Archaeological Museum when traveling to Brest. This is a wonderful place to explore the history of the city. The exposition is interesting and available for self-study. However, in hot weather, be prepared for possible discomfort due to the high temperature inside the building.
Final score: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

It is interesting to plunge into history, it will be interesting for both adults and children. Of the disadvantages, mobile communication does not work well in this place, but free wi-fi works.

An interesting place. Preserved excavations- it is interesting to see how it looks for real and not restored in a museum. In my opinion, the exposition is boring and poor, but this may be due to the fact that it was already overflowing with impressions

The ancient city is impressive right in the middle of the museum, very interestingly done. There are many exhibits, each exposition is painted in three languages. They're showing a movie. It's a pity there is no toilet in the museum building.

I am pleased with the visit. Everyone wears clothes inside, and a certain temperature is maintained to preserve archaeological finds. There were no excursions, I went by myself, watched, read. There is a poster at the entrance with a link to the audio guide, but the Internet did not pull. I have already listened to the audio guide at the hotel, it is only in the Belarusian language. I recommend you to visit

An interesting place. If you come to the Brest fortress, be sure to visit this museum. The way of life of our ancestors shows well. It was interesting to see how it was built in those old days. Be sure to read the information about the exhibits yourself and then explain to the children what you have read.

A great place where you can immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the life of the ancient Slavs. Very interesting. The museum is unusual in that it is built around the main archaeological find - ancient buildings that have been preserved after many centuries. The museum looks modern.

I really liked the museum. All the expositions and descriptions for them are great.

A very unusual and interesting museum. The archaeological exhibition is beyond praise. It is worth going to those who are interested in the life of people and the history of the development of the region.
There are guide services, but you can just take a guide at the entrance. It's free, you only need your headphones and a smartphone to read the codes.

An ordinary museum, which presents exhibits of the everyday evolution of the inhabitants of the settlement from the first known days of its foundation. The main difference between this museum and others is the ancient remains of dwellings. In general, it is informative and interesting.

Very informative. The exposition is good and interesting. But for a full immersion, it is better to download the application by code at the beginning of the exposition. The app is a sound guide to the museum. I liked the ancient building of Berestye the most..

An interesting place, tickets are not expensive. You can take a walk there, everything is informative. It was done interestingly, there is even a small cinema hall where they talk in detail about the museum. As I understand it, part of the excavation was buried back for safekeeping.

The first thought when placing it was how closely the buildings were located, it is interesting what guided the ancient people, there is a sea of fertile lands around, and the use of open fire could burn a village at a time. Well, the buildings themselves were surprised, one-room boxes of 3x3 m (sort of studio houses), or even less. Berestye - village of hobbits,

A very interesting museum! In the center there is a pit with a recreated settlement, on both sides there are exhibits found during excavations. We used the free audio guide (downloaded the app and scanned the code, there was an instruction on the wall). The exhibits are well preserved (11 centuries!), as they were in a humid environment. The 13-year-old son was happy to listen to everything "from cover to cover" I recommend!

The museum is not big, in my opinion it is necessary to take an excursion to tell about the local inhabitants of the Middle Ages. But there was no time. Amazingly preserved wooden buildings - residential and household, some up to twelve crowns of logs, moreover, wooden pavements have been preserved! I don't know if it's worth coming here on purpose, but if you're already in the fortress, then you can go in, transfer from the twentieth century to the tenth or twelfth... May.

Ohhh, it's Birch Bark. This place left a good impression for us. We visited without a guide and everything was clear and very interesting. A lot of artifacts. The excavations of the old town generally impressed us. That's how much people needed for a few living meters to live. Not like now, we are building mansions. And the question arises: what is all this for? After all, in fact, a person who works for days needs little. A table where to eat, a stove where to cook and a bed to sleep. I advise everyone to visit this place. It is very interesting and informative!!!👍👍👍👍👍

An interesting museum. Preserved wooden log cabins of the 13th century are under the glass vault.
I recommend booking a guided tour. It is quite compact, informative and pleasant here. Maybe we were just lucky to have a guide, or maybe it's just a place that's so inviting.

Do not try to combine Berestye and Brest Fortress in one trip. You need to go to Berestye separately and be sure to go with a guide.

The museum was a bit disappointing. Archaeologists searched for a city, but found a village of fishermen. It was impossible to admit it. We spent a lot of money, so we called it all a city. In my opinion, this object has no special historical value.

A very interesting museum! It is obligatory to visit with a guided tour! We were there with friends, took a guided tour, we were very lucky and the head of the museum conducted it for us. He talks very interestingly and is ready to answer any question. Many thanks to Roman Alexandrovich for this informative tour!

It's interesting as a story, but for 1 time. Because the exposition is small, there are not enough emotions. It would be more interesting if the guides were in costumes with the effect of immersion in that era, maybe they could make some productions. And so we stayed there for 10 minutes

Modestly, but that's what archaeology is for- little, but valuable. The exhibits are interesting. The hair combs were impressive, such thin teeth and it is handmade. But there are doubts. Having the opportunity of woodworking and having knowledge of construction, heating, these structures in the exhibition are more like outbuildings. But I liked it anyway.
