MINSK (
BelTA) – During the nationwide community clean-up day (subbotnik) Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko worked at the construction site of the National History Museum and People’s Unity Park, BelTA has learned.
The head of state inspected the progress of the museum’s construction as well as the establishment of People’s Unity Park.
Apart from that, Aleksandr Lukashenko, together with other participants of the clean-up day, planted trees in the territory adjacent to the museum. The funds earned from the spring community clean-up day will be channeled toward the creation of a permanent exhibition at the National History Museum of Belarus, which is currently under construction, as well as other related work.
Work to build the museum began in February 2025. The building is now finished. Painting and finishing of the premises and interior decoration are underway. Apart from that, work on the establishment of People’s Unity Park continues. The area being landscaped exceeds 32 hectares.
The construction projects of the National History Museum of Belarus and People’s Unity Park have been granted the status of a nationwide youth construction project. A total of 12 student teams consisting of 128 people have worked at the sites, including five teams from Minsk higher education institutions and colleges. Volunteer youth events are also held regularly, with more than 3,000 people having taken part. At present two student teams of 20 people are working on the site. Those are students of the Minsk State College of Innovative Construction Technologies named after I.M. Zhizhel.
The head of state noted earlier that the idea of building a new museum dedicated to the history of Belarus stems from the desire to show the young, growing generation where their roots come from, doing it in a way that is vibrant and interesting for young people.
Apart from that, the head of state formulated his main requirement to the project’s authors: no nationalist or overzealous patriotic excesses. “An objective view of our history must be reflected. Everything must be based on facts and done in the spirit of the times. In the new museum building the descendants will see an example of an attitude toward their past,” the Belarusian leader stated.
