Unexpectedly, I really liked the museum. It is located on the lower floor of the Palace of Culture of Trade Unions, occupies a small area, I would like it to be more spacious and have more air, but as it is. The museum presents famous architectural objects of our republic on models, everything is handmade, beautiful lighting, many small details. Young girls conduct an exciting tour, weave legends into the story, ask interesting questions along the way and give small prizes for correct answers, entertaining both adults and children. I recommend the museum to visit.

Very beautiful and detailed layouts, I love layouts and everything related to them. There is an audio confirmation for each of the exhibits. It all looks especially cool when you look at the sights that have already been destroyed, for example, the Ruzhansky Castle. Compared to other exhibits, it looks like the largest structure. It so happened that we first visited the museum, and the next day, passing through, we were just in Ruzhany. You can immediately clearly imagine the scale of the palace there, I hope the state will invest and restore this beautiful structure. Lay at least 1.5 hours (for 22 or 21 layouts) + for a separate fee, there are vr glasses (for another 15-20 minutes) in which you can visit these exhibits inside. The only thing you can get tired of is unaccustomed, my nose is numb.
The only drawback is the old equipment: flimsy headphones, you can use your phone, of course, but if you have a newer model and there is no longer a connector for wired headphones, it will not be so convenient. We were given one phone and one earphone for two, respectively, it was uncomfortable (
I attach a photo of the layout of the Ruzhansky castle and ruins

I really liked the museum. Small, but interesting. All the sights in one place. The audio guide is free. There are also excursions, a photo zone, souvenirs. Very responsive staff.
The reviews of some visitors who are dissatisfied with the fact that the layouts are under glass are amazing. There are a lot of children in the museum. If the layouts were open, can you imagine what would happen to them in a week???

I'm thrilled. A very interesting and informative museum. Friendly staff, ready to tell and show everything. The guide conducted an exciting, eventful tour. I really liked the story about making layouts.
There is an opportunity to see the sights of Belarus both on mockups and in virtual reality.
A large souvenir shop. There is something to choose for yourself and your friends.
Thanks to the creators and staff for the wonderful museum!

I brought a friend who had been here with a child before. The museum is small, there is a choice of independent visits, there is an audio guide, a VR tour and a regular tour with a guide.
As people who love excursions, they chose the last option for 30 rubles and were delighted. The tour lasts 45 minutes, there is a lot of information, but you don't have time to get tired. The miniatures are beautifully designed, there are lighting, interactive elements, it is clear that people have invested a lot in the museum so that the visit here would be exciting.
I would like to mention the guide Antonina separately — a cool presentation, lively, with humor, I listened almost with my mouth open. And thank her very much, because it certainly added more pleasure to the visit.
Of the disadvantages, I can only mention the administrator, who met us at the checkout and talked to us with complete indifference, or with irritation because we did not want to take a ticket with VR.
If it wasn't for my friend, I probably would have left right away.
But I didn't regret a minute that I stayed. Thank you so much for such a wonderful museum 🤩

The Museum of Architectural Miniatures of Belarus. It is located in the wonderful building of the Republican Palace of Culture of Trade Unions. A monumental, beautiful building built in 1956. By the way, this building is represented in the mini museum as an exhibit. An audio track is selected for each object of the museum. You will learn about the date of creation, the architect, the history of the object and you will want to go and look at the layout of the area. You should definitely go. All the best that is in Belarus.

A pleasant small museum with miniature historical objects of Belarus.
Like it:
The friendliness of the staff
Convenience of payment (guide, audio guide, virtual glasses-everything is possible on the world map through St. Petersburg)
Good handmade national souvenirs
We joined up with other guys in a group and took a guide for 45 minutes (15 bel rub). It was informative
You can choose interesting places to visit based on the story

An excellent museum, I definitely advise everyone to visit, a very informative informative audio guide that interestingly and briefly tells the most basic information about the object. By the way, there are wonderful guides who are a pleasure to listen to, for example, Ekaterina.
At the moment there are 22 exhibits of attractions, it is worth noting that it is all handmade!
I would like to express my special gratitude to Anton, who strongly advised me to take an entrance ticket with a visit to the VR zone, a very sensitive and sociable young man.

We visited a wonderful museum. All the beauties of Belarus and significant places in one place. It is very interesting to come up with and implement the idea of a miniature world in which you can immerse yourself with the guide Anton. He was able to present and tell about the sights of his native land, as well as about outstanding personalities who were born on the territory of Belarus. He managed to interest the children by arranging an intellectual quest for them. Thanks for the interesting tour. 🥰🌺

The museum is a must-visit if you are not familiar with the main sights of Belarus. The audio guide that is given at the entrance will tell you about everything in detail. And for us, this was the main and biggest advantage of visiting this museum. Now we know exactly where else we would like to go in Belarus, and which places to visit! Therefore, I give the highest rating) As for the execution of the layouts, we saw the Grand Layout Russia Museum in St. Petersburg, and, of course, this museum loses a lot to it. But who has nothing to compare it with, I think they will like it. The museum has a photo zone and a children's area. The museum is open on Mondays, when many other museums are closed.

A wonderful museum. We were with my daughter on August 22, 2024. The exposition consists of miniatures of the main sights of Belarus. There is an audio guide. You can download it to your phone or you will be given a phone and a headset. It would not be superfluous to take your wired headphones. The extended package includes a VR journey. Take one and you won't regret it. An adult ticket is 22 Belarusian rubles. They accept the card or through St. Petersburg. The staff-the girls are very nice, responsive, they connected everything, paid without problems, they will tell you everything, they will help. There is a souvenir shop, a photo zone. The exhibits are filigree copies, very cool. You have a great opportunity to see the whole of Belarus at once, form an opinion about these places and then choose a real excursion. Thank you very much for this opportunity to the one who came up with it! It is located in the center of Minsk, convenient to get to.

We visited the museum in October 2024. It is very informative, interesting, made with great love and dedication, the museum has excellent staff. There are 22 layouts in the collection, an audio guide is issued, it is possible to go through the entire exposition at your own pace. All layouts are interactive, illuminated, and some have various Easter eggs hidden on them, which makes viewing even more exciting (you can take a checklist with hints at the checkout). In general, the impressions are the most wonderful, I wish the creators and staff of the museum prosperity and grateful visitors. We will advise our friends!

A good location in the city center, right next to the Oktyabrskaya metro station, is very convenient. Young smiling employees (and female employees))))) at the reception. It's great that you can wander through several castles and palaces at once, embrace our not-so-small country)) Plus, in this museum you can plan future excursions already in real life: go around everything in advance, plan everything so that later on the spot you know exactly what you want to visit in a particular city.
I used an electronic "guide", I liked it. However, I'm afraid there won't be enough "regular" phones for all visitors, so I think it would be nice to additionally place QR codes next to the exhibits so that everyone can listen to the tours on their device. Special thanks for the opportunity to "go inside" all these beautiful buildings using VR helmets. Well, and, of course, souvenirs — where without them, in good memory of the Belarusian Madurodam))) In general, we can only wish the museum to expand and further improve, because we always want to do everything more and better — this is our common human nature. The beginning has been made, it will only get better from now on!

We came by chance- and we were absolutely delighted! A must-visit. We've been to similar museums, but this one is the best. Mega responsive employees. Everyone is given an audio guide, where literally 2-3 minutes is a story about each object, in an easy, unobtrusive form. There is a photo zone and a quest for children. Even 2 teenagers got interested and enthusiastically ran from layout to layout! A pleasant souvenir shop-we couldn't pass it by.

It's an awesome museum. I didn't even expect so many impressions in one place. Friendly administrators will show you everything and tell you everything. The most famous buildings of Belarus on the same site. A very interesting audio guide. VR visit is beyond praise, in 20 minutes you can see all the sights that you listened to before. It's like I've been everywhere. A solid five plus!

Visiting the Miniature Museum in Minsk was a pleasant discovery for me. All the exhibits are worked out to the smallest detail, people, animals, equipment... Just fire🔥
The staff is excellent, the girls are polite, they will tell you everything and show you
They provide both gila and audigida
There is a room with virtual 3D reality where you can sit on a chair in Minsk and visit remote corners of our beautiful country.
I recommend you to visit👍

A wonderful museum if you stay in Minsk for a couple of days and there is no opportunity to visit all the main sights of the country! Be sure to take a live guide. In our case, it was Anton! Beautifully, with a wonderful literate speech, he led us into the world of Belarus, for which we thank him very much. I recommend it, you won't regret it.
I don't really recommend a Viar tour, especially for those who are seasick

The mini-country is a very interesting museum, where, using the example of the layouts presented here, you can get acquainted with the main sights of Belarus. The entrance fee includes an audio guide that helps you briefly familiarize yourself with the history of each attraction. You can also buy unique souvenirs here and, as far as I understand, book an excursion to some places (this will need to be clarified with the museum staff). I would also like to thank intern Vasilisa, who not only asked about my impressions of the museum, but also shared her thoughts and impressions about the beauties of Grodno, inspiring me to want to visit this city. It's nice to see such interested people! In general, the staff is very polite, friendly and always ready to help if necessary!

Thanks to the museum, I learned how many palaces there are in Belarus, and now I want to travel around the country and see them live.
Special thanks to the guys - they are friendly, pleasant, it is clear that they love their work, and most importantly, they helped me write a postcard in Belarusian and send it to a friend, there is a mailbox right in the hall and souvenirs are top! I met my goose, now we will live together)

I really liked the museum. The layouts are very detailed, the layout of the Independence Palace was especially impressive. I was also pleased that there is an audio guide here, which briefly describes each of the exhibits. And the VR tour of Belarus was a very interesting experience. If you want to see all the main sights of Belarus, but there is not much time, then this museum is a must-visit.

Great tour, good young team. I really liked the fact that you can connect to the audio guide via Wi-Fi and listen to descriptions of all objects in any order convenient for you. You can listen through your headphones or get headphones from the organizers. I really enjoyed the virtual reality tour. When we arrived in Belarus for the first time, we were able to make for ourselves an individual list of places that our family must visit

An excellent museum of miniatures of the sights of Belarus.
It is very interesting to look at castles and other buildings that are symbolic for our country.
Everything is beautifully stylized, and the atmosphere is pleasant.
An interesting quest - the whole family was looking for "Easter eggs")

An excellent museum, there are more than 20 miniatures of castles, temples and other major attractions of Belarus. We took a tour - thanks to Maria for interesting facts about these places, a story about the technique of creating layouts and stickers 😉 it is also possible to take a VR inspection in a separate room, but it can make your head spin (in this case there are mints)

The little men are alive. The audio guide tells you about each building in a very interesting way. There is also a viar - you can see the structures inside)) The staff is polite. There are discounts for students and pensioners. I advise you to visit! 😎🤓

The museum is cool! Compact but busy, friendly and friendly staff. It is interesting to see both adults and children. My daughter is nine years old, she has been going to it for the third year and is also going to next year. He really regrets that they removed the Easter eggs in the form of superheroes and did not come up with anything new in return.

It is located on the 1st floor. There is a dimmed light inside, there is a wardrobe.
Unfortunately, the impressions after visiting this place are very crumpled.
The staff is polite and friendly - this is a plus.
The cost of visiting is not cheap. There is an option to watch it yourself, with a guide and some other video. We chose the option of self-viewing, but after visiting, there is a persistent feeling that "it wasn't worth it" ...
There are about 15 exhibits inside (miniature layouts). Some of them have a button that turns on/off the light. However, one or two didn't work. There is no mechanization or movement in the objects.
In general, I personally was "not hooked".

An interesting exposition of most of the most famous sights of Belarus in miniature. The audio guide allows you to get detailed information about the history of each object. After that, you can visit every landmark, traveling around the country by car. The trick of local cashiers is a little unclear - Russians are offered to pay for tickets through the SBP in order to allegedly save on conversion. In fact, no savings are possible. And the recipient of the payment is some kind of sole proprietor from Balashikha in the Moscow region.

We visited the museum of miniatures with pleasure, accompanied by an audio guide, you can very comfortably examine each layout at your own pace. I wanted to travel all over Belarus. Unfortunately, we got here on the last day of our stay in the country, which we really regretted. We recommend everyone to visit the museum of miniatures first, and travel with existing ideas about the city and the country and discover Belarus and Minsk.

A very nice and interesting place where you can find a lot of elaborate miniatures and layouts. For those who are interested in architecture and do not want to go anywhere — masthev. You can walk for a very long time and inspect all the exhibits, having a good time. I advise you to come to the company. There is also a VR room, which is also quite interesting, especially if this VR has never been touched with your eyes. Among other things, I would like to note the friendliness and responsiveness of the staff. Anastasia, who was in the VR zone, especially fell into my soul. A very sweet and enlightened girl.
I am satisfied.

In this room you will find models of 24 main architectural landmarks of Belarus.
When you buy a ticket, the polite staff provides you with a phone with the app installed and headphones. The application indicates for each object its location, how to get to it, where you can stop and eat, as well as an audio story about the object itself lasting about three minutes. It's just a pity that audio playback speed adjustment is not supported yet, I would like to be able to increase it.
By the way, the application itself can be downloaded for free from the AppStore. The information from it can be used to create a tourist route around the country, especially if you have not had the opportunity to visit all these places before.
The layout is characterized by good detail and interesting "Easter eggs" (I love this). I recommend the place to visit, but still, for the sake of objectivity, I have to note some minor disadvantages. Each layout is separate in itself (another concept is closer to me) and I want even higher detail and more interactivity. Besides, it's hard to take pictures, there's a lot of glare from the glass.
