Lukashenko: Museum of World Religions to be set up in Belarus
The Museum of World Religions will be established in Minsk – as noted by President of Belarus Aleksandr Lukashenko during the Easter service at the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God in the Vitebsk Region today
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, each of the major denominations present in Belarus should start creating their own centres of attraction this year, and the Museum of World Religions will be set up in Minsk – ‘so that our young people know what religions are, and where their roots come from’. “Anyone will be able to visit [this museum] and see where our spirituality originates from,” the Head of State said, speaking of the plans.
The President also recalled that a magnificent centre of achievements of the Belarusian people — the Minsk International Exhibition Centre, or so-called Belarusian VDNH – had been built. By May 9th, it will fully open to the public. As noted by Aleksandr Lukashenko, it is especially important that young people see the expositions.
In addition, the National History Museum is being built in the country. Its visitors will be able to get acquainted with the history of the Belarusian statehood creation since ancient times.
