Museum of boulders

The museum exhibits over 2,000 boulders arranged to create a three-dimensional map of Belarus, with large stones representing cities and gravel paths depicting rivers.

Established in 1985 following a five-year collection expedition initiated by academician Gavril Goretsky, who proposed gathering geological specimens from across Belarus.

Several stones in the collection hold religious significance, including the ancient Stephen Bathory Cross and the Ded Stone from a pagan shrine.

The museum grounds remain open 24 hours daily throughout the year, with free admission and convenient access from the Uruchye metro station.

The collection includes distinct areas showcasing feeding provinces, petrographic specimens, boulder shapes, and human interaction with stones through history.
