Mahiloŭ Regional Museum of Art

Mahiloŭ Regional Museum of Art occupies a decorative building from the early 1900s with a tower and domed sections throughout its structure. Inside, rooms display a mix of religious paintings, realistic works from older centuries, and modern pieces spread across multiple floors.

The building served as a land bank facility until 1917, when it suddenly changed purpose after the revolution. It later became a place to collect and display works of art, turning into the museum you see today.

The collection shows how artists from this region saw their surroundings and history through their work. You find paintings that show daily life and religious traditions, especially pieces by local artists who painted their homeland.

The exhibitions spread across several floors, so plan time to explore from room to room. Good lighting in the galleries helps you see the artworks clearly, even if you walk slowly.

The distinctive building became so well-known that it was printed on several Belarusian banknotes over the years. The choice shows how strongly local people view the structure as a symbol of their city.
