The National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus (Belarusian: Нацыянальны мастацкі музей Рэспублікі Беларусь, romanized: Nacyjanaĺny mastacki muziej Respubliki Bielaruś ) is the largest art museum in Belarus and is located in its capital, Minsk.

The Vitebsk art scene was vibrant due to the presence of important artists including Malevich, Chagall and Lissitzky.

[4] At the beginning of 1941, the State Art Gallery's funds and stocks had numbered nearly 2,711 artworks out of which four hundred were on display.

In spite of the postwar devastation, when Minsk lay in ruins, the Government of Belarus allocated sums of money for purchasing works of art for the Gallery.

In August 1945, the canvases by Boris Kustodiev, Vasily Polenov, Karl Briullov and Isaak Levitan were obtained.
