Military History Museum

Highly recommended! I found the exhibits quite interesting. I spent nearly 2.5 hours covering the entire museum. It helps if you have a translation app if you don’t understand Romanian or Russian.

Definitely come here if you’re visiting Chişinău. Such an interesting place. You can tell by the photos. Only costs 5lei + 5lei if u want to take photos. It wasnt busy at all, it was me my gf and a random person when i was there.

Interesting to see how a nation portrays it own (military) history and both the exhibitions on the Soviet era and the war of Transnistria were particularly good. Some more English texts would have been highly appreciated, though 👍

Incredbly interesting museum! One of my highlights while in Chișinău. There are a lot of different artifacts from different eras. Both from Soviet times and WW 1 + 2. Would very much recommend!!!

Fantastic museum! We spent 2.5 hours here looking at all the vehicles, planes, guns, military history. The museum is huge, spanning many floors and includes a section on Jewish history and multiple wars. My 20 yo son loved this place too

As a solo Canadian tourist in Moldova, I highly recommend visiting here. The staff have limited English, but went above and beyond doing their best to explain the scenes. A lot of important history and amazing displays.

Museum explaining how this part of the world was impacted in the wars of last century. Labels of the items in English as well, but the knowledge of Russian would help you enormously. Very interesting the parts in the lower floor and the external show of tanks, weapons and airplanes. A room dedicated to Chernobyl as well.

Great military history of Moldova. The museum contains thousand-years-ago expositions, as well as expositions of most recent events - Soviet union, famine, Chernobyl and forming of Moldova republic etc. There is also outdoor part of the museum containing military vehicles, artillery and aircraft. The fee is really low, 10 MDL for adult and 10 MDL for camera. Must see for everyone visiting Chisinau.
