The general exposition integrated exhibition materials and documents of the National Historical Archives of the Republic of Belarus, the Minsk Regional Archives, the Presidential Library.

A special moment was the creation of an archival capsule with letters to Belarusians of the future. This project was attended by deputies, leaders and activists of parties and public associations, representatives of the local vertical of power, journalists, as well as residents and guests of the city. Each of them left their thoughts and wishes in messages that will become part of history and will be passed on to future generations. This is not only a way to preserve the memory of the present, but also an important step towards the formation of a single historical narrative.
