National History Museum of Moldova

I truly recommend taking some time to visit the National History Museum of Moldova in Chișinău. It’s a great place to easily understand how the Republic of Moldova has developed over the years — from its first inhabitants, through the communist era, to becoming an independent republic and a potential candidate for the European Union. As a foreigner, I really enjoyed it a lot and highly recommend the visit.

The Museum accommodated is very beautiful building. There isn't any person speaks English so I don't know but the administration should to improve the service. I came across groups of students from the city, apparently instead of a history lesson the children were taken to the history museum. It was very noisy, especially from those students who were bored. Another thing that struck me was that the 7th century is almost not discussed. Thy focus over to refuting Russian propaganda. Otherwise, if it is quiet, the place is worth it and it is quite cheap - only €2.5. I definitely recommend the place because many people didn't know that Moldova was separated from Romania. Many people don't know that Moldova was a principality and is not Russia.

The atmosphere is captivating, blending immersive exhibits with serene spaces that spark wonder and reflection. A must-visit for history enthusiasts!

Well laid out museum in a beautiful building. Very spacious going though the Moldovan history. Sometimes it lacks information but inspires you to use Google. We spent 1h15. The price for an adult is 50 MLD and 20 for students. There are lockers and toilets.

A good collection of exhibits about the history of Moldova. Educational. You can buy souvenirs at the cash desk. I recommend visiting.

One of the best museums I've seen. Really engulfing, with many beautiful objects and great narrative about Moldova's history. I recommend visiting it to everyone.

Museum which summarizes history of Moldova. Comfortable space and interesting exhibitions.

Excellent museum. Unique and varied attractions e.g. the rooms themselves are beautiful and worth the price of admission. There’s even an old fashioned diorama room that includes thunder and lighting — so cool! We visited many museums during our 3 week trip to 6 countries and this was my favorite. The staff were very helpful in pointing the optimal route through the museum. The exhibits are extremely well done and it helped us that much of the info was presented in English e.g. helpful explanations were available on take away sheets in each room that you can grab and read as you walk the room. The well presented collection of artifacts including ancient items was amazing in quality and quantity. Stunning stuff. Everyone involved should be so proud of this museum. Don’t miss the fun “wheat blowing in the wind” art as you walk one of the rooms, kids might love that (yes, me too). Don’t be put off if some of the hosts or cashier seem solemn initially, they are all real nice and maybe leery of approaching non-native speakers. Do see the well guarded treasures in the basement which could be overlooked as could the exhibit on darker times in Moldova. Easy to get here once in Chisinau and great value. Highly recommended!
