This gallery is home to six collections: painting, graphics, sculpture, decorative and applied arts, and posters. If you're interested, you can even meet a gifted local artist and visit their workshop. It can be difficult to find art that's created independently of the Belarusian state, but this is one place where it's possible.

One of Minsk's 3 most upmarket and central bar-restaurants (the others being Bistro de Luxe and the Cafe de Paris), Grand Cafe has a beautiful setting, a long bar with excellent cocktails, a typical menu with solid choices – maybe not particularly inventive – and upmarket clientele with a sprinkle of foreigners. Great location!

I personally believe this is one of the most impressive places in the city. Lots of sculptures are gathered in a single room - and you shall know the specifics of the era: Stalin, Lenin, all the generals and marshalls. Occasionally they have some events (cinema, theater plays, poetic readings).
