The country's first National Unity Museum.
The main mission of the Museum of National Unity is to form a civic position, patriotic spirit and national identity among the younger generation. Considering that the educational institution is named after the legendary pilot, twice Hero of the Soviet Union Sergei Gritsevets, the concept of the museum unites two key themes: the history of the Belarusian statehood and the memory of the heroic pilots, whose life and feat are associated with the Baranovichi region.
The museum is divided into two zones with information stands. The main exhibition consists of three sections:
* "Unity is our strength!" – the history of the formation of the Belarusian statehood from the Principality of Polotsk to the present. QR codes are provided to expand knowledge about historical events and personalities.
* "Modern Belarus" – demonstrates the country's achievements, traditions and values of the Belarusian people, their cultural and economic characteristics. Visitors can take a virtual trip through the regions of the republic, study the structure of government bodies using an interactive stand. Mobile stands tell about the traditions and achievements of the Belarusian people, and the cultural heritage and paintings of Belarusian artists can be viewed through a light mosaic and a holographic fan.
* "The Immortal feat of the winged heroes" – introduces the exploits of pilots associated with the Baranovichi, including twice Hero of the Soviet Union Sergei Gritsevets, the first Hero of Belarus Vladimir Karvat, the fallen aviators Alexander Marfitsky and Alexander Zhuravlevich, as well as Andrei Nichiporchik and Nikita Kukonenko, who at the cost of their lives prevented the tragedy in May this year. Visitors can sit in the flight simulator and see the altitude-compensating pilot's suit.
The museum's collection includes 86 information stands and panels, as well as medals, documents and photographs of Ivan Vikentievich Bastyuk, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War (22 items of storage).
Of the greatest interest is the SU-24 bomber simulator cabin (1 storage unit), transferred by the Ministry of Defense, and the pilot's altitude-compensating suit (1 storage unit). The exhibition is also equipped with a computer with a projector, a holographic fan and a touchscreen.
