Maxim Bogdanovich Memorial Museum "Belarusian Hut".
The branch building, erected in 1904 on Chelyuskintsev Street, is the only surviving building in the city directly associated with Bogdanovich's name. In the 1980s, the house, saved from demolition, was moved to Rabkorovskaya Street. At the same time, work began on the creation of a museum exhibition. After the restoration, the building was restored to its original appearance, and its grand opening took place on June 25, 1991.
The house originally belonged to Sava Redka, a teacher at the Libavo-Romenskaya Railway School, who rented it out. During the First World War, the building was used as a free canteen for refugees, and later Zmitrok Biadulya and his sisters lived in it. It was here that Maxim Bogdanovich lived from October 1916 to February 1917.
The "Belarusian Hut" branch covers the Minsk stage of the poet's life, as well as the literary and social processes that took place in Minsk at the beginning of the 20th century. Various artifacts, documents and materials related to Bogdanovich's life at that time are presented here. The museum invites visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of that time, to learn about the influence of Minsk on the poet's work and his interaction with other cultural figures.
The exhibition includes not only Bogdanovich's personal belongings and manuscripts, but also materials reflecting the cultural life of the city at that time. This allows visitors to better understand the context in which his works were created and appreciate the poet's contribution to Belarusian literature and culture in general.
The exhibition presents a restored room of the poet, created on the basis of the memoirs of his contemporaries. There are personal belongings of Bogdanovich, his books, including the lifetime collection "Wreath", as well as household items from the early 20th century. Special attention is paid to the atmosphere in which the poet created his masterpieces, such as "The Chase" and "Stratime the Swan".
The branch also organizes museum classes for children and traditional excursions.
