  • One of the first destinations for those who want to get acquainted with Moldovan history. It contains historical valuables from 13th century till the modern history of Moldova. The guides are very nice and are eager to answer any question one may have. Pricewise is very cheap, only 50 cent for entrance. Definitely recommended!
  • Approximately 15 exhibitions are held in this museum every year and it is considered one of the most important events in Moldova. This museum is divided into many scientific departments: ancient history, archeology, medieval history, history of Bessarabia, contemporary history and treasures.
