Tour of Stone Belarus


Tuesday, 26 May 2026
Time: 17:00 (till 18:00-19:00)
Location: Boulder Museum
Address: Academician Kuprevich str.

Price: Free

Booking: required (please, register this event using the social event registration form in your personal account)
About the Event: Join us for a short visit to one of Minsk’s most unusual landmarks - the open-air Boulder Museum.
Here, 2,134 boulders collected from across Belarus are arranged as a large-scale map of the country. Cities are marked by groups of stones and blue spruces, rivers appear as pebble paths, and the highest elevations rise as gentle hills. Many of the largest stones stand exactly where they once lay in nature, turning the park into both a symbolic map and a geological record shaped by ancient glaciers.
Opened in 1985 as a scientific project, the museum is often described as an open-air geological laboratory. Its thematic sections explore the origin, structure, and cultural role of stone - from natural formations to carved and ritual objects.
This one-hour walking excursion offers a relaxed opportunity to discover a unique landscape where science, history, and nature come together. Comfortable shoes are recommended.
