Editing Brest (Belarus) (section)

== Places to visit ==

There are several museums in town worth visiting, the most famous is the “Museum of the heroic defense of the Brest fortress” on the western outskirts of the town. On the islands of the fortress territory one will find also the Art museum of the ''Oblast'' and ''Bereste'', an archaeological museum. It is constructed around a digging site, where streets and houses from the middle-age beginning of the city were discovered. From the city centre the marshrutki 5 and 10 are going to the fortress (крепость), but only on request. From the centre it takes some 30 minutes by foot to reach the site.

Between fortress and centre on the ''prospekt Masherova'' an open air museum displays railway technology. 

Another museum that is dedicated to rail-way history is located on the train station Brest Tsentral'nyj: The station's museum, consisting of one and a half rooms, tells the history of the famous station, but is hardly known and not easy to access. To get there you have to ask the "dezhurnyj" of the station, who than will call the museum's chief and guide. Entrance is free of charge. It's a perfect place to visit while the gauge conversion is being done (see below).

In the central part of the city are some more museums to be found: The Homeland museum (ul. Karla Marksa 60), the historical museum of the city (ul. Levanevskogo 3) and the museum of the saved art objects - the exhibition consists art objects that were found by the border guards in the luggage of people leaving Belarus and illegally taking them abroad.
