BELARUS AND BELARUSIANS. HISTORY AND CULTURE GUIDE

The National Historical Museum of the Republic of Belarus presents the “BELARUS AND BELARUSIANS. HISTORY AND CULTURE GUIDE" exhibition project.

Belarus is a sovereign country with a millennial past, with glorious and dramatic pages. The national traditions are carefully preserved and inspired by the best achievements of world civilization with some reimagining.

Do you know when the first people appeared on our lands? When did writing come to Belarus and in what alphabet was it written? And the fact that our land is a country of castles and countless treasures? What did our ancestors wear, what does the national cuisine consist of and how do the “voices” of Belarus sound? ..

The “Belarus and Belarusians. History and Culture Guide” exhibition project tells about the main stages of the historical development of Belarus, gives a brief description of the cultural heritage, presents the Belarusian people as an integral part of the world community, helps to understand what Belarus is and who Belarusians are.
