Tour of the Belarusian State Archives and Museum of Literature and Art (BSAMLI) for a Group

On June 2, 2026, the Belarusian State Archives and Museum of Literature and Art (hereinafter referred to as BSAMLI) hosted a guided tour for a group of individual visitors. Leading researcher at BSAMLI, Dmitry Sergeevich Samokhvalov, introduced the visitors to the history and architectural features of the former St.Joseph’s Church, which now houses the archive. During the tour, the group had a unique opportunity to see the building’s current interior and learn about the work of archivists in preserving our country’s documentary heritage.

Visitors were introduced to archival documents displayed in the reading room at the exhibitions «Iago Bagaty Plen» (commemorating the 140th anniversary of the writer Zmitser Byadulya) and «Mountain Roads. Caucasus» (commemorating the 100th anniversary of the artist Boris Arakcheev).

The tour of the Belarusian State Archives of the Museum and Historical Literature (BSAMLI) once again demonstrated the public’s high interest in national history, cultural heritage, and archival work.
