At what point does photography become art? Is Goethe right when he remarked that "architecture is numb music"" The answers to these questions can be found in the Dom Vankovich Museum, where the exhibition "Silhouettes of Heritage" opened yesterday.
Svetlana Yatsevich, head of the branch of the National Art Museum, admitted that the exhibition was a revelation for her: "We have many different exhibitions, but this one is special. There are real architectural masterpieces in Belarus. And it's such a pity that many of them are little known to the general public."

Vladimir Tsvirko has been creating the author's project "150 golden routes of my Belarus" for eight years. Today there are 200 such routes, and he continues his travels: "what I film and show is a drop in the bucket from what we have. I studied the issue, and it turned out that only three percent of the architectural heritage remains in Belarus."

There are 42 works on display, including temples, churches, palaces, names, and clocks. The main goal of the artist is to give the audience a sense of belonging to the rich history. Perhaps someone would like not only to visit these places, but also to contact and learn more about them. After all, there are unique churches and churches that can only be found here.

Muscovite Elena Ryabykh happened to be at the exhibition " " I was walking through the center of Minsk, saw a beautiful courtyard, came in, and here is a photo exhibition. I couldn't believe my eyes: is there such a thing in Belarus? It's so rich! I will try to visit at least a few places""
