The visual history of Minsk is captured in one and a half thousand authentic items from the collection of the Museum of the History of the City of Minsk.
The main exhibits are artifacts from archaeological research of the monasteries and shopping arcades of the Upper Town, Zybitskaya, Cyril and Methodius, Nemiga and other parts of the historical center of Minsk. Most of the items were discovered in the 1980s-2010s. during the "rescue" excavations (archaeologists Zayats Yu.A., Kolosovsky Yu.V., Koshman V.I., Medvedev A.M., Rusov P.A., Sobol V.E., Tarasov S.V., Trusov O.A., Shtykhov G.V. and others). Before becoming exhibits, many finds were conserved (restorers Zhitkevich M.V., Smantser D.V.).
