Museums in Minsk – Great Patriotic War Museum

Steve, do you know what is inside museums walls? Any airplane or some parts of planes?

Sorry, I only know what is visible on google earth. I do have a friend from Minsk so I’ll ask her if she knows what is inside. Will take a few days though.

Duxfordhawk, I have found this photo. Is this from Minsk museum?

Looks like it to me, I did not go that close as it was a Snowy day, My wife is Belarussian so i will be going there sometime probably next year. Minsk is a pretty city even in winter time.

Yep. The museum is in the centre of Minsk and can be seen on google earth.

Where is Urech’e?

Urech’e, Belarus

Here are some images that a friend of mine made in Urech’e:

Many years ago there was a fairly good looking Lisunov Li-2 outside the museum. Don’t know if it is still there, and the museum was closed on the day of my visit, so I have no idea what’s inside. So go and have a look and tell the rest of us…

Not sure what is there Aviation wise but will ask my wife later, She is from Belarus and has family and friends in Minsk, Have to say i like Minsk as a City too,The day i last went there the Lisunov Li-2 was covered in snow, Did’nt go in the museum as had no time.
