StrochitzaThe museum of national material culture is 16 km southwest from Minsk, on the picturesque bank of the river Ptich, between villages Ozertso (in the north) and Strochitsy (in the south).
This rare in its beauty of landscapes place seems to be created by a whim of nature to present in miniature the whole of Belarus with the historic and ethnographic peculiarities of its regions.
The museum was started 1976. Now it represents three (out of six) ethnographic regions of Belarus: Central Belarus, Poozerie (northern part), and Podneprovie (south-east). From those regions a rural school, the Uniat church, a pot-house, a windmill, a smithy, a bath-house, and other habitats have been moved to Strochitsy... All these allow visitors to absorb the world of wooden Belarus.
Close by the museum there is a unique in the size (30 hectare) archeological sight – the ancient settlement on the river Menka which scientists consider to be the origin of the legendary town of Menesk. Though founded on Menka, by the end of the XIth century Menesk had moved to the banks of the Svisloch and the Nemiga to become Minsk in the course of time.
