<b>The exhibition "Minsk. Upper City. Archaeological Museum"</b> is housed in a building constructed over archaeological excavations conducted in 2007-2008. This museum offers a fascinating window into the history of Minsk, revealing the city's rich heritage through discovered artifacts.

The focus is on over one and a half thousand original items that illustrate the life of the city over various eras. The main exhibits were discovered during archaeological investigations conducted in monasteries and commercial areas of the Upper City, as well as on the streets of <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/77/description">Zybitskaya</a>, Cyril and Methodius, Nemiga, and other significant sites of the <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/1/description">historical center of Minsk</a>. Most of the items were found as a result of "rescue" excavations conducted between 1980 and 2010 by talented archaeologists.

Visitors begin their journey with the diorama "Ancient Flora and Fauna of the Minsk Area," showcasing the landscape features and remains of ancient animals. This diorama is based on the findings of a mammoth herd discovered in Minsk in 2008.

Next, the museum offers a unique opportunity to study the cultural layers of the city through specially recreated archaeological digs that reflect the life of Minsk residents from the 11th to the 19th century. The exhibition features numerous artifacts, including bone combs, iron arrowheads, keys and locks, as well as jewelry and leather footwear, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of Minsk's inhabitants.

Reconstructions of trading rows and workshops, such as shoemaking and pottery shops, allow visitors to feel the atmosphere of the historical Upper City, where crafts and trade flourished from the 14th to the 19th centuries. The architectural features of this area are demonstrated through maps, plans, and models of significant buildings, as well as original building materials, including bricks and decorative ceramics.

Modern multimedia technologies make visiting the museum both exciting and educational. Interactive modules, such as the "Well of Time" and "Chronicle of Minsk," as well as the game "Treasure Chest," engage both children and adults, allowing them to actively participate in the learning process.

The museum, located on the site of the former <a href="https://findit.city/en/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/5/description">Bernardine Monastery</a>, has become not only a keeper of history but also an important part of Minsk's cultural life. Its exhibition offers a unique opportunity to glimpse the city's rich heritage and understand how it has developed over the centuries, transforming into a modern metropolis.


<b>展览《明斯克。上城。考古博物馆》</b> 位于一座建筑中，该建筑建于2007-2008年考古挖掘之上。这个博物馆为人们提供了一个迷人的窗口，展示了通过发现的文物揭示的明斯克丰富的遗产。

展览的焦点是1500多件原始物品，展示了城市在不同历史时期的生活。主要展品是在修道院和上城区的商业区，以及<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/77/description">兹比茨卡亚</a>、基里尔与梅福季、涅米加等历史中心的重要街道<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/1/description">上进行的考古调查中发现的</a>。大多数物品是由才华横溢的考古学家在1980年至2010年间通过“拯救性”挖掘找到的。

游客的旅程从《古代明斯克地区的动植物》模型开始，展示了该地区的地貌特征及古代动物遗骸。这个模型基于2008年在明斯克发现的猛犸象群遗址。

接下来，博物馆为游客提供了一个独特的机会，通过特别复原的考古挖掘，研究该城市的文化层，反映了明斯克市民从11世纪到19世纪的生活。展览中展示了众多文物，包括骨梳、铁箭头、钥匙和锁、珠宝和皮革鞋等，让人们一窥明斯克居民的日常生活。

复建的商业街和手工作坊，如制鞋和陶瓷店，让游客感受到上城区的历史氛围，从14世纪到19世纪，手工艺和贸易在此繁荣。该地区的建筑特色通过地图、规划图和重要建筑的模型，以及砖块和装饰陶瓷等原始建筑材料展示出来。

现代多媒体技术使参观博物馆变得既有趣又富有教育意义。互动模块，如《时间之井》和《明斯克编年史》，以及《宝箱》游戏，吸引了儿童和成人的注意力，让他们积极参与学习过程。

该博物馆位于前<a href="https://findit.city/cn/belarus/minsk/leisure/tourism/sights/5/description">伯纳丁修道院</a>的遗址上，已不仅是历史的守护者，也是明斯克文化生活的重要组成部分。它的展览提供了一个独特的机会，透视城市的丰富遗产，并了解它如何在几个世纪的发展过程中，逐渐演变成现代大都市。
