Created among the ruins and ashes in newly-freed Minsk in October 1944, has been carrying out and continues to carry out its high mission of commemorating the Great Victory over the fascism during the whole time of its existence.
The magnificent museum building was erected in a symbolic place of the Belarusian capital – next to the stela “Minsk – the hero city” and is included in the museum and park complex “Victory”.
The architecture of the building impresses by its scale and symbolism. The monumentality and modern technology are harmoniously combined in it. Non-standard spatial and architectural techniques and imaginative solutions create the feeling of the greatest tragedy and at the same time immerse the visitor in an atmosphere of courage and achievement.
The area of 10 expositions halls makes up 4,200 square meters presenting over 8 thousand of exposition materials.
The museum funds consist of 30 collections and number in more than 150 thousands of depository items: these are photographs, documents, letters and personal belongings of the Great Patriotic War participants.
The museum is the most visited one in Belarus. He was and always will be a place of the live national memory.
