Opening of the exhibition "ARMATUS"

2023-01-14

On January 14, 2023 the temporary exhibition "ARMATUS. Military-Historical Reconstruction of Armor and Weapons" was opened at the Mir Castle Complex Museum in the first section of the Northern Building.

The exposition presents the weapons and equipment of a medieval warrior, as well as the means of their production: tools and equipment for blacksmithing. All exhibits are full-size working models and replicas with traces of natural wear and tear during operation. They give the visitor the opportunity to trace the evolution of the development and use of both defensive and offensive weapons on our lands, right up to the beginning of the widespread use of firearms. These models and replicas are the result of many years of work on the study of the equipment of a medieval warrior using the methods of scientific reconstruction and experimental areology of the master blacksmith, metallurgist Dzmitry Andrejeu and the master of historical reconstruction Yury Ustinovich.

The exhibition will run until August 31, 2023.

Entrance tickets: 5 BYN for adults, 2,5 BYN for schoolchildren and students.
