Museum of Belarusian Polesia to undergo reconstruction

In Pinsk, there are plans to carry out major repairs on the historic building of the Museum of Belarusian Polesia and completely revamp its exposition. This was reported by the Department of Culture of the Brest Regional Executive Committee, BelTA reports .

The Pinsk Museum is one of the oldest in Belarus, at over 100 years old. It is housed in a 17th-century Jesuit collegium building, which is an architectural monument and holds the status of a historical and cultural heritage site.

The need to renovate the museum was overdue. Design and estimate documentation has been prepared and has passed state review. The work will begin in 2026, with initial plans to partially repair the roof. A children's choreographic school currently operates on the third floor of the building, but during the renovation, its students will attend classes in other premises. After the work is completed, the museum will occupy all floors.

During the reconstruction, utilities, windows, and doors will be replaced, and repairs will be carried out on the roof, facade, and interior spaces. Appropriate materials will be used to preserve the historical appearance of the building. The work will be financed by the regional budget.

The Department of Culture noted that the museum holds significant cultural and architectural value. Unique items are preserved in its holdings and exposition, some of which are the only surviving examples in Belarus.

The current exposition introduces visitors to the history of Polesia from ancient times to the early 20th century. In the museum, one can see valuable archaeological and historical artifacts, as well as learn about the life and occupations of Polesians across different eras.
