Because it's big, it's beautiful, it's a masterpiece. Cowek's art has obvious folklore roots, Fernandes's - Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo and giraffes. It's a thing you can look at for half an hour doing nothing but enjoying every small detail.

You won't find somewhere as calm or intimate near the centre of Minsk as Kastrychnitskaya Vulica. Old (some of them still working) red brick factory buildings, a small Lenin sculpture, an honour wall, rare trams and complete silence – no other place will better show you how things were in times past.
