Please be considerate of guides and other visitors by listening to the audio guide through headphones or holding your phone to your ear, without using the speakerphone.

The “Stalin Line” Historical Route will take you back to the Great Patriotic War and immerse you in the atmosphere of the fighting that took place here during the first days of the war in the summer of 1941.
The museum is centred on the pillboxes of the Minsk Fortified Region. Military engineers have restored two Machine-Gun Pillboxes, an Artillery Half-Caponier and a command and observation post. Every visitor can enter a pillbox with a recreated pre-war interior, feel the cold steel of its weapons and imagine themselves as a defender of the Motherland. The site's military engineering structures have been recreated from pre-war plans. The exhibition includes every type of foxhole, trench and anti-tank ditch of various profiles, positions for rifle sections, dugouts for sheltering personnel, gun emplacements, and metal and wire obstacles.
At the Historical and Cultural Complex, you will see the most comprehensive display in Belarus of military equipment that entered service over the years, beginning with the wartime period: artillery, tanks, aircraft and small arms. The complex also houses a unique collection of Russian, Polish and German armoured cupolas dating back to the First World War. All the exhibits are genuine and may be touched.

QR codes are used when a small amount of information about an object needs to be accessed quickly. You will often see QR codes on advertising banners or posters. They most commonly contain a link to the advertiser's website.
At izi.TRAVEL, we use QR codes to encode the identification number of an attraction or museum exhibit. The app on the visitor's phone recognises the QR code, prompts them to install the required app if it is not already installed, and automatically plays the audio story associated with the exhibit. This means visitors do not need to search for the exhibit by entering its name in the search bar or scrolling through a long list.
