We visited the museum on January 5th. I would like to start with a good one: there are many halls with different themes, they are clean, and the staff helps to navigate the museum. I would like to note the vigilant attitude of the employee at the entrance, keeps order.
But everything was overshadowed by one situation that occurred in the Hall of Military Glory. We came from St. Petersburg, so we are used to the fact that the security guards of the halls can help us with questions about the exhibits. So we turned to an employee of the museum, and in response, in a rude tone, we heard: "I don't know anything, read it." This was followed by the following picture: an employee approached the showcase, pointed her finger at the signature of the exhibit, written in Belarusian, and said, "Read what it says here?". Condemnation for the fact that people are drawn to knowledge, especially about the Great Patriotic War? To put it mildly, we were shocked and spent the rest of our time without pleasure. We sincerely hope that this was an exceptional situation, and in fact Belarusians honor the history of their ancestors, openly talk about the exploits of the people and do not condemn residents of other countries for not knowing some Belarusian words. Otherwise, it is a pity for the Belarusian youth, because such personalities can discourage the craving for knowledge.
I would like to ask you to have a conversation with the staff of the Military Glory Hall (the question was about the exhibit - the fascist's belt and his coins), especially with a woman with dark hair (sorry, they didn't ask for her name, I wanted to leave as soon as possible).

The Most Honest Review.
The museum is very cool, it shows not only exhibits related to Grodno and Belarus, but also in general with archaeology and the history of the world, I highly recommend visiting, it is worth the money. The only drawback is that there is no Russian language on the exhibits, personally it was easier for me to understand English than Belarusian.

The museum is interesting, there are many exhibits, there is something to see and learn new things. BUT... everything is in Belarusian and English, but where is the second state language?! I am from Russia, many friends from Belarus, and I personally know that it is also difficult for them to perceive reading. A 10-year-old child really wanted to read about the exhibits himself, but could not... The uniqueness of Belarus lies in its people and history, and this needs to be promoted and made more accessible. I was not the only one who asked the museum curators about the language, I heard it personally, but of course they send it to the management... Then there is also a question for them, why is there a text in Russian for payment, and the rest is alas?

Overall, the impressions are positive, I especially liked the exposition showing the stages of the evolution of life on earth by period. Fullness is at its height. With the advantages, that's it.
Now the cons. Everything is either in Belarusian or in English (how is the second state language?). I think it was transferred in the 90s, and it remains so.
The staff follows closely, when trying to ask a question, they snap back: read the signs, everything is written there (yeah, it's written on the account - read above).
In short, if you do not speak Belarusian, it is a 50/50 recommendation to visit.

The museum is large and interesting. The expositions are standard - everything that is worthy of attention and happened in the region. And Grodno has a rich history. There are many paintings, I remember the inscription in Belarusian "Neviadomy mastak" on almost every second painting. It sounds like a swear word in Russian))

The museum itself is interesting - architecture, expositions, a lot of unique exhibits. All this is negated by the indifferent attitude of the staff and the complete absence of the Russian language on the information plates! All the signs are only in Belarusian and English, as a result, nothing is clear. After a trip to Brest, I was very surprised by this - everything is in three languages and very friendly staff in museums!

An excellent exposition for me, as a specialist, authentic museum objects, weapons and equipment, archeology, costume, local history, halls of WWII heroes and Afghan internationalist soldiers, a good section of fine art, church utensils.
We must remember to take a separate ticket for temporary exhibitions (when I was there, there was an exhibition about the history of transport)
Annotations to the exhibits in Belarusian and English, who only speaks Russian-in principle, everything is clear. All the free space is occupied by an exhibition of paintings by contemporary local authors.

If I had come here as a child, I would have asked to stay here to live. Amazing archaeological halls! Diaramas with eras and periods are just a delight! Other collections are also very interesting. We spent many hours on the rounds and would come back again. We accidentally wandered in, one of the best memories of Grodno now!

An interesting museum, with an audio guide, the material is presented structurally. Since this is the only museum in the city (at least, it seemed to me), they tried to cram everything that the region is rich in here, while doing the maximum: history, archeology, butterflies, shells, taxidermy, International debt in Afghanistan, great citizens, icons with paintings ...). Navigation is poorly thought out: there are no through passages through the halls. Several times I found myself in a dead end, the exit from which to the next room suggested a passage through the already viewed exposition.
The staff was also surprised - instead of trying to reason with particularly vociferous visitors, they sharpen mistakes with them in their own key. The headphones of the audio guide do not save you.
But most of all in fraternal Belarus, Exhibit 76 shocked. Without an audio guide, you will pass by without experiencing emotions. I was in all arms and I can share with you - so, it turns out that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania suffered a national catastrophe - after the attack in 16 ... and over the next 10 years it was ruthlessly destroyed by the troops of Moscow Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich "The invasion of three Russian armies ..." and "... Tatar hordes" (to the poor Tatars again I got it. I wonder if they are aware of their invasion?)
... The Belarusian lands have lost half of their population. (think about it- in the 17th century! Local museum workers have already identified them in Belarus!) - we are talking about the mass of dead Belarusians, at the hands of ruthless Russians. At the time of the events described, no one thought about Belarus as a territory with its own statehood, and Russia changed its name to Russia only in the time of Peter the Great.
Are you serious about this? Do you know your own story?
In general, they mixed everything with everything, and put Russia in a very unsightly light, which just freed future Belarusians from the Psheks and Chukhonians. Of course, I would like to write off all this as the unprofessionalism of a particular dilettante from history, rather than feeling an ostentatious trend in sycophancy in front of Europe.
General summary - I did not hear the history of the country on behalf of Belarus, I still had the feeling of visiting a Polish museum with suffering on behalf of a Pole.

I really liked the museum. Much bigger than the old castle. The museum is large, the staff is pleasant. Even the woman who really wanted to have lunch, but "there are visitors there"))) It is very pleasant that the description of the exhibits is in the native language. We didn't have time to visit many places during the day in Grodno, but this museum is the most interesting.
We were there at the time when there was an exhibition of stones in the museum building. Well, the exhibition is a big word, just a sale of trinkets from the category of "amber beads for all diseases" and books about magic frames and pendulums. In short, do not spend money on this nonsense, because the entrance is paid.

A new castle. The interior, the exposition and so on were not inspected. We walked around. The castle made an interesting impression. It's like the buildings are covered in dust. Maybe this was intended, even when it was built in the middle of the 18th century, as the summer residence of Augustus III. And from the high shore there is a beautiful view of the Neman.

The museum is located in the New Castle. In the museum you can see the history of Belarus and not only it. There is a river and an Old Castle nearby.

Guests of the city, book excursions much in advance. It is impossible to do this in a couple of days or on the same day. It's good that there is an opportunity to take at least an audio guide. In places, he helped out. BUT! where I would really like to hear at least something, the audio guide did not work. For example, in halls dedicated to the war or the Soviet era. And so.. There are thematic exhibitions in many halls.

An interesting place . Fascinating expositions . I admire the oriental weapons and armor of oriental warriors (personally for me). One disadvantage is that there is not a word in Russian . Nevertheless, the proximity to Poland is felt especially strongly in Grodno

The museum's management pursues a strange policy in the form of inscriptions to the exhibits either only in Belarusian, or in Belarusian and English. Which, if you are a resident of the CIS and do not know the languages, leads to the fact that you walk and cannot understand the descriptions of the exhibits.
And since most of the tourists are Russians, it leads to the fact that some of them think about the chauvinistic policy of the museum administration.
Also, the "mutually exclusive paragraph" is that the museum staff conducts lectures both for outsiders and for schoolchildren of Grodno schools in Russian. Sic!

It's not a bad museum, we were in November on weekdays, we were alone. Surprisingly, in all museums the inscriptions are only in Belarusian, less often in Polish. Not in Russian. Sadly. And everyone speaks Russian.

I really liked the museum. There are two parts of the exposition: historical and natural history. We were with a child for 5 years. Not too tedious, but informative. I saw the military of different times and their weapons. They showed the child animals of the middle belt, the Arctic, marine, different species of birds and butterflies.

The exposition is exposed just like the exhibits in the nooks, in the semi-darkness. An ordinary old museum. You probably shouldn't allocate time for it when coming to the city. A "bonus" is the museum curators, who will be happy to tell you off like a schoolboy if you decide to finish visiting the museum earlier, without going through all the halls🙃

The museum is like a museum. I was upset by the lack of signatures in one of the official languages in Belarus. Only in Belarusian and English. I have nothing against the Belarusian language, but the information content in the museum is limited because it is difficult to read without Russian...

The exposition is quite decent. But the behavior of the staff is just terrible - they rush like chain dogs, instead of putting up signs where you can go, and where - for a fee. They will stand behind you and almost breathe in your ear. The horror!!!!

There is absolutely no system in the museum, neither thematic nor chronological. There are many interesting exhibits, but everything looks like a randomly assembled set of things. At least, with the order of inspection that is currently installed in the museum.
The museum is very outdated.
