The photo exhibition “Minsk from up above”, dedicated to the City Day, will be opened at 4 p.m. in the National Library of Belarus on August 30.


The project “Minsk from up above” is a look at the native and favourite city, its places of interest, familiar avenues and unknown streets, parks and squares from a bird's perspective. Moving in the same directions every day, we stop noticing the surrounding beauty. Sometimes we need a new perspective to refresh the sense of the city, feel its life rhythm and look at common things in a new way.

The exposition presents nearly 35 photos of young operators, photographers – Dmitri Vazhnik, Artem Pryadko и Viacheslav Mazay. They shoot timelapses and are fond of aerial photography, they make wonderful videos and photos while flying with the help of the mobile quadcopter with a camera. The authors of the project consider Minsk as the main city, the city forever, a starting point. Rising higher, they strive to open its individuality, its unique atmosphere at different times and seasons.

The band “Bravo” song says: “This city is the best on Earth”. Don’t you think, it’s about the native Minsk?

You can make sure of it till September 30, 2016, after visiting the gallery “Panorama” (22nd floor).

Since August 31, 2016 you should pay an entrance fee, which equals the price of the visit of the observation platform.
