Belarus · A closer look

Vitebsk

A river city with a remarkable connection to Marc Chagall and modern art.

Follow the artist’s early life

The Marc Chagall museum includes a house-museum associated with his childhood and a separate art centre. Check the two addresses and current exhibitions rather than assuming they are one building.

Let the city fill the gaps

The town hall and river setting give a wider context to the art story. Choose a manageable walking route and confirm steps, surfaces and opening arrangements for your party.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
