Excursion to the museum
I often visit all sorts of museums, I really like this feeling of meeting the past, you feel like the hero of an old novel and a part of another era. The museums store artifacts, paintings, manuscripts, things and objects that appeared long before us, all of this in our time has great cultural and historical value.
There are different types of museums. For example, a historical museum that stores information about significant events in history. The Ethnographic Museum tells about the rituals and traditions of different peoples. It contains unique cultural monuments: national costumes, household items, beliefs and folklore, etc. The local history museum can acquaint with the past of the native land. Wandering through the halls of the museum, we get to know the past. A very important figure in any museum is a guide, with the help of his story you can compare exhibits and stories, then the picture becomes more complete. You can ask the guide questions, he will always have a timely and detailed question.
One day before Victory Day, my class and I decided to go to our city museum, the Museum of Military Glory, where an open door week was held. We were met by an employee of the museum, she greeted us and introduced herself, asked us a few questions about the knowledge of the history of the Great Patriotic War, we answered them with enthusiasm. She told us that in the museum we will see the heroes of our city and hear their story.
When we entered the hall, we seemed to plunge into the past. The room resembled a military headquarters and an archive at the same time, the guide said that they used the surviving letters, photographs, orders, officer's planes, etc. Everything around was in dark colors, dominated by gray, dark blue, khaki and brown colors. There were many portraits, medals, slogans on the walls. The guide's story impressed us to the core, she told about a resident of our city who lost everything during the war, but still did not give up, fighting to the bitter end. After visiting the museum, we walked in silence for a long time, each of us thought about the important feat of the Soviet people, in everyone's eyes there was sorrow and gratitude for the peaceful sky donated by a valuable thousand lives. Now none of us will doubt whether it is worth going to the Victory Parade.
First of all, it would not hurt to go to the museum. Of course, it is easier for city dwellers to do this, I think there is a Museum of Local Lore in almost every regional center. There are many museums in our city, although the city is small and a regional center. It also depends on what famous people lived in your locality, often museums are even in villages, if they were born in their time or just some time when celebrities were noted. If there is no museum, then I would advise you to go to the nearest town and go to Museum. To do this, you do not have to go to the capitals; in fact, you can learn a lot of interesting things in museums.
Then we begin to write a story about the museum, for example, about the Museum of Local Lore.
First, tell us what the museum looks like externally, before that, briefly describing the path to it and why you went there. You can write like this. Over the weekend, my parents and I were thinking about where to go to rest, and dad offered to go to our museum, which is located nearby. We live in the center of the city, and there is an old building in its historical part. I often passed by and knew that this was a museum. But somehow I've never been there.
Next, we write about your new sensations: about the smell in the museum or about shoe covers, special slippers that you were offered to wear over your shoes. It was unusual and interesting.
Then we write about which sections and rooms are in the museum. For example, on the first floor, we saw the history of our area, starting from the bones of the mammoth. There were old coins and a machine gun with pistols. There was a hall dedicated to the Great Patriotic War. Describe an interesting exhibit. Next, describe the second floor, where, for example, the art gallery is located. And end with rave reviews and your overall impressions.
Honestly, I don't like museums. Therefore, when traveling, I look into such places very rarely. To tell the truth, most museums (at least in our country) are a rather boring and depressing sight. Although, of course, there are exceptions to each rule. And I saw some of them with my own eyes.
Last year, for example, Warsaw was also a pleasant discovery for me. And a few weeks ago, an unexpectedly vivid impression left behind another unusual place - Brest War Museum located on the territory of the infamous Brest Fortress. This museum was opened relatively recently with the support of the Russian group of companies "Gazprom". Most of the exhibits were presented here, which did not find a place in other expositions and museums located on the territory of the Brest Fortress. However, the residual principle of formation should not mislead you too much. After all, this museum is remarkable not so much for its collections as for its atmosphere. And it was conveyed within its walls just magnificently.
War Museum - Territory of Peace
The place, which will now be discussed, is located on the territory of the former barracks - in the southeastern part of the Brest Fortress (approximately halfway between the Courage monument and the Thirst sculptural composition). As I wrote in my previous article, the territory of the fortress is actually quite large. However, despite this, it is not difficult to find this museum (all you need to do is just follow the signs). In winter, several more specially cleaned paths led to this place. Therefore, Tanya and I found the War Museum without any problems.
I'll make a reservation right away: in fact, this place is called a little more ornate: “ War Museum - Territory of Peace". But with your permission, I will still use a shortened version of the title. Just because it is somehow more convenient to mention it in the text.
War Museum (Brest): price and opening hours
To begin with, in different periods of the year the museum works according to different schedules. From March to December, expositions are open from 10.00 to 19.00 (the ticket office is open until 18.30). In winter (from December to March), the exhibition halls are open from 10.00 to 18.00 (you can buy a ticket at the box office until 17.30). Day off: Tuesday. Cleaning day: last Wednesday of every month. During the summer season, the museum is open seven days a week.
The entrance to the museum costs 30,000 rubles ( UPD ... at the moment it is already 40,000). On the one hand, it is not very expensive. But it is also difficult to call a ticket a cheap one. Another 10,000 ($ 0.5) was personally charged from me "for photographing" (as later in Kamenets). A trifle, of course, but such a primordially Belarusian love to tear money from everyone for air became for me the most unpleasant impression from this trip to the Brest region. Paid wi-fi, paid toilet, paid service "being on the route" (in Belovezhskaya Pushcha) - such things spoil the overall impression of the trip a little. I do not want to deviate very much from the topic, but I simply cannot not write it. What's next, gentlemen? Glass wash service at the bar? An additional "multiplier" for the right to hold onto the handrails on the bus? Or what else will our managers have enough creativity for? Everything, I finish with this topic. Then only good things - and only about the museum.
Behind the doors of the museum
The main halls of the museum are located on the second floor of the southeastern barracks of the Brest Fortress. At the door we were greeted by a very nice woman ticket collector, who somehow set the general tone of our mini-excursion. In general, the services of a guide in the museum (… surprise-surprise…) are paid. But since there were not many visitors in the exhibition halls in mid-January, this woman agreed to give us a mini-tour for free. She told us about the concept of the museum, about the history of its creation. Although for me personally, the story about her own destiny, which, as she said, was actually entirely connected with this fortress, sunk into my soul much more. I don't know why, but I somehow especially remember the love and warmth with which she told us about this place. So now, taking this opportunity, I would like to thank her. So…
Lyudmila Timofeevna, the entire editorial staff of the blog site (in other words, Tanya and I) sincerely thanks you for your interesting story and a pleasant excursion. Hope you read these words. And remember the two frozen guys with a camera who came to your museum a couple of weeks ago.
The first hall. "On the eve".
The entire Brest War Museum is structurally divided into eight different halls. The first of them tells about the days preceding the beginning of the battles. The atmosphere of the old barracks rooms has been recreated here. And under the very ceiling, the panorama of the July sky glows - the same as that hung over the city a few hours before the start of the war.
Otherwise, everything is pretty standard: old photographs, examples of military uniforms, recreated atmosphere of the soldiers' barracks rooms. In general, see for yourself.
Second hall. Battle.
The second hall of the museum contains various exhibits related to the period of the battle for the Brest Fortress: old weapons, fragments of the memories of Soviet soldiers, recreated copies of German boats on which Nazi troops crossed the river. The atmosphere is eerie. But everything looks very soulful.
One of the main features of this hall is the recreated shelling of the fortress from the side of German aviation. Once every four minutes, the lights go out in the room, the walls begin to shake, and the hum of Hitler's planes begins to sound overhead ... I don't know if this can be conveyed with the help of a short video. But it's still better than simple words.
The third and fourth halls. Trial.
Excerpt from the text posted at the entrance to the hall: “The tragedy of war is not only in the death and suffering of millions of people. The hardest test for many of its participants was captivity - forced restriction of freedom, life without rights, struggle and death in bondage. " The third hall of the Brest "Museum of War" is dedicated to the history and fate of Soviet soldiers and civilians who, for one reason or another, ended up in German concentration camps. A visit to this hall involuntarily reminded me of our last year's trip to Auschwitz. By the way, there are several stands dedicated to this camp here.
A model of a watchtower, recreated following the example of those used in German concentration camps.
Cutting the pillars to which Soviet prisoners of war were tied. Subsequently, on such "live targets" young German soldiers honed the art of shooting.
A photograph of the children of one of the Soviet commanders who were shot by German troops during the occupation of Belarus.
Running a little ahead, I will say that the fatherland has not really forgotten them. Therefore, after returning from German captivity, a huge number of ordinary Soviet soldiers were exiled to other camps - already on the territory of Russia. Accidentally or not, but this topic in the exhibition halls of the museum is touched upon only indirectly. It pops up in the memories of eyewitnesses, in the letters of former prisoners and soldiers. But only just in passing, as if in passing. Personally, I remember this letter the most. Read, do not be lazy.
Fifth hall. "Confession".
Okay, let's close this topic. Leaving aside some ideological nuances, in all other respects the "Museum of War - Territory of Peace" really remains a very cool place. What are these sound stands with the memories of people who survived the battles in the Brest Fortress worth? You stand on a red circle on the floor, and the voice of one of the eyewitnesses begins to sound from above. And each story - as a reflection of someone's fate - sounds heartfelt and very interesting. As I learned a little later, these recordings were recorded in the late forties, when the surviving eyewitnesses of the war years were able to return to the Fortress again.
Here, if you want to listen. Memories of the beginning of the war. Very interesting.
Sixth hall. Echo of War.
The entrance to the next hall passes through this long tunnel, inside which are collected various ammunition found in the ground after the end of the Second World War. This place looks very cool. I like it.
Seventh and eighth halls.
The following halls are positioned as separate expositions. However, their concepts and content are very, very similar. The Heritage Hall and the Memory Road Hall unite various works of artists, directors and sculptors, one way or another connected with the history of the Brest Fortress. A Belarusian-Russian film “Brest Fortress” is shown on a big screen in one of the halls. A kind of free cinema for everyone.
The works of Soviet and Belarusian leaders did not impress me. But the huge shells filled with earth from the sites of memorable battles of World War II - made a completely opposite impression. There are Minsk, Grodno, Kiev, Moscow, Odessa, Kursk, Warsaw and many other cities that witnessed the main stages of the war. I photographed the exhibition stands, probably ten times.
The War Museum is the territory of the world. Closing remarks.
In general, the topic of the War is a very delicate and sensitive topic for all Belarusians. We must not forget about this time. At least so that such events do not repeat themselves. I am glad to have visited this museum. And I am glad that there is something similar in our country. Let's remember our heroes and hope that history will unite us. Instead of driving a wedge between people and entire nations.
Yours sincerely, Anton Borodachev.

Paleontological Museum.
Today our class went by bus to the museum. The bus was big and nice. The museum building is large, beautiful and light. We went up the stairs to the hall, undressed and began the excursion. There we saw various dinosaurs, mammoths, crocodiles, sharks, rhinos and reptiles. The largest egg was that of a bird.
We were glad that we learned a lot of interesting things for ourselves.

We learned that a Velociraptor dinosaur can run very fast ("fast thief"). Then we learned that some dinosaur species had a long tail or a very long neck. Some dinosaurs can fly, while others can swim. We learned about flying dinosaurs, herbivores and carnivores EVERYTHING.
So that is all!

Visit to the museum.
Today I was at the paleontological museum. We arrived at the museum by bus. We were met by a cheerful guide. She told interesting stories about dinosaurs, monkeys, mammoths and people living in caves. I remember the story about the biggest dinosaur. He had two brains. One nut-sized brain was in the head and the other in the tail. He helped defend himself. It turns out that the elephant bird had a larger egg than the dinosaurs. The skeleton of a mammoth can be seen in the museum. I remember the little mammoth. The mammoth was named after the river where he was found. At that time, the man was not tall, about one hundred and twenty centimeters and his life expectancy was about thirty years. In their dwellings, people painted on the stone walls of the animals they ate.
At the end of the tour, we went to buy souvenirs. My friend Masha and I have chosen two beautiful horses.
I really enjoyed the excursion.

My class and I went on an excursion to the paleontological museum. I liked the largest dinosaur - the diplodocus. It lays eggs, and its length is 26 m. And I also liked the microbes, they were green. There was an exhibit of an ancient deer with large antlers. I saw the head of a mammoth and its tusks. In another room, I met a hornless rhinoceros. He was tall and big. Then there was the head of a large platypus. And almost at the end of the tour, we saw bird and dinosaur eggs.

Today I went with the class to the paleontological museum.
We learned a lot, for example, that the eyes of the largest mammoth look in different directions, and the nostrils are on the forehead. And also that dinosaurs have cold blood, while ours is warm. It turns out that the smartest dinosaurs couldn't run fast. I remember the fossilized tooth of a shark called karcharod, and the smallest mammoth, which was found on June 23 in 1977. There were also green microbes that feed on the rays of the sun. I was struck by a fish 2 meters long, she knew how to walk under water. The blue whale of that time weighed 2000 tons. And the largest frog was 2 meters long. I also saw the skeleton of a Loch Ness monster in the hall.
I really liked this museum.

My excursion to the museum.
This morning, as a class, we went to the paleontological museum. We did not travel long, on a very comfortable bus.
In the museum, I learned a lot of new and interesting things. For example, a bird lays the largest egg. And that the largest animal on earth is the blue whale. I also saw skeletons of dinosaurs and crocodiles, mammoth tusks and much more.
After the excursion ended, the guys and I had time to take pictures of the exhibits as a souvenir. Having gained impressions, we went home.
Thanks for the interesting excursion!

A day at the museum.
Today our class visited the Paleontological Museum. An excursion was organized for us. I really liked the guide, she talked about prehistoric animals in an interesting way. In the museum, we visited six rooms in which we saw the skeletons of various dinosaurs. I especially liked the diplodocus, as it turned out to be the largest in the museum. We also got acquainted with the bones of a saber-toothed tiger, hornless rhinoceros, deer, lizards and other animals.
Personally, I really enjoyed the trip and I think we had a good time.

On November 7, our class went on an excursion to the Paleontological Museum. We wanted to know who the dinosaurs are. But we learned a lot more. I wrote down the most interesting things. Here, for example: we saw petrified trees at the entrance, and when we entered the first hall, the skeleton of a dinosaur appeared before us, which seemed to be hanging in the air. Examining the wall, I was surprised to find that there was a huge picture in front of me. It turned out that the dinosaur is a huge lizard, and the first vertebrates to appear on earth were fish. And the ancestors of people are monkeys.
The museum had a huge skeleton of a hornless rhinoceros (by the way, more than I thought). There was even a diplodocus skeleton and brain!
We were told about the elephant bird, about the Pinocchio fossils, showed a two-meter skeleton of a frog with a tail. And the most interesting thing is coelacanth, a fish with paws! They showed both a stone, which is one and a half billion years old, and the skeleton of a plesiosaur. At the end of our journey, we bought ourselves some souvenirs. I purchased a stegosaurus miniskeleton, which is very mobile and looks like a real one.
I will remember this trip for a long time!

My class and I went on an excursion to the Paleontological Museum. First I saw the tree of life, then the first people were shown to us. They were small in stature and looked like monkeys. There was also a mammoth. He had large tusks. I also liked the green germs. Then we were taken to a hall where there were skeletons of dinosaurs. I liked the platypus dinosaur. But most of all I remember the skeleton of Diplodocus, its length is 26 meters.

The subject of the essay is:
"In the world of ancient giants."
A long time ago, everything was different on our planet. The continents were closer to each other, the climate was humid. Paths in forests and fields were trodden by various dinosaurs.
Science knows more than 900 species of dinosaurs that lived on Earth in the Mesozoic era. Scientists - paleontologists tell us about the existence of dinosaurs and are introduced to the Moscow Paleontological Museum. YA Orlov, which I visited on November 7 with my 2 "B" class.
I learned a lot of interesting things from the tour. For example, that the first representative of the ancient world was called Stegosaurus. The longest dinosaur was named Diplodocus, its tail was 14 meters! Scientists claim that there were dinosaurs - poison dart frogs.
I will remember this amazing and interesting excursion for a long time.

On November 7, our class had an excursion to the Yu.A. Orlova. This is one of the largest natural history museums in the world, leading its history from the Kunstkamera founded by Peter the Great. The exposition of the museum tells about the complex process of the evolution of life on Earth. It was very interesting for everyone to look at the ancient monsters that once inhabited our planet: mammoths, dinosaurs, ancient rhinos ...
We also saw ancient shells of mollusks, sea stars, plant prints on rocks, and much more. I was most interested in ancient echinoderms, molluscs and ancient fish.
I was deeply impressed by the guide's story about amazing creatures that once came out of the oceans onto land, walked the earth for millions of years, and then disappeared, and instead of them other amazing creatures appeared.
We returned home full of impressions, and the stories about the excursion were enough for the whole evening.

In one of the halls we learned how and why to clean the aquarium, about crocodiles, about tailed frogs, about a two-meter fish and about the huge jaws of a blue whale! We were told about the birds that lay the largest eggs in the world. It was interesting to learn how to distinguish a mammoth from a mammoth - by the tusks that grow in different directions. And the ancient rhinos were hornless and looked like a horse or a camel. Ancient people are very similar to monkeys. Most of all I liked the skeletons of dinosaurs and dinosaurs that smile in the water. I wonder what they think about ?!
