The thousand-year history of the region is brought to life in the halls of the museum, while the voices of historical figures resonating within its walls make the past tangible for visitors, the head of state said. «The exposition explores the lives of the Radimichi tribe, from whom the history of the region began, and not only the region. Mogilev has always been a bridge between the West and the East in peacetime and a bulwark in the times of trials. These lands saw numerous battles of the armies of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania, the kings of Poland, and the tzars of Russia,» said the president.
According to the head of state, the regional history acts as a microcosm of the larger national history, and the museum’s exposition depicts the thorny and centuries-long path of Belarusians to independence and statehood, and connects the heroic past with the peaceful present.
