Belarusian State Circus, Circus building on Independence Avenue, Minsk, Belarus
The Belarusian State Circus features a circular structure with a capacity of 1668 seats and includes rehearsal arenas, ballet rooms, and animal facilities.
The first permanent circus building opened in Minsk in 1884 as a wooden structure commissioned by Peter Nikitin before the current facility was constructed in 1959.
The circus building houses a museum on its top floor that documents the evolution of circus performances and artists throughout Belarusian history.
The facility contains a veterinary clinic, specialized training areas with rubber flooring for animals, and a parquet dance floor for performers.
The building underwent extensive renovation between 2008 and 2010, incorporating modern technology while preserving architectural elements from the 1950s Soviet period.
