Visit the Navapolack History and Culture Museum

The museum opened in 1968 as a museum of labour glory and took its present name in 1998. Its displays explain how the city and oil-refining complex were built from the late 1950s, with a detailed model of Navapolack as the centrepiece.

Make the trip from Polatsk for the history of Soviet urban planning and the petrochemical industry rather than an old-fashioned local collection. Check the hours and addresses of the main museum and exhibition hall, as they may operate at separate locations.
