National Museum of History of Moldova, National museum in Central Chișinău, Moldova.
The National Museum of History of Moldova is a history museum in central Chișinău with collections spanning from ancient times to the present. The exhibition is organized into thematic sections that guide visitors through different historical periods and the objects that tell their stories.
The museum was established in 1983 and is housed in a former boys' school building that had been restored after earthquake damage. This location brought together the preservation of history with the protection of a local structure.
The museum displays objects from different periods of Moldova's past, from early crafts to items of everyday life. Visitors can see how people in the region lived and worked across many centuries.
The building is easy to reach from central Chișinău and offers visitors multiple areas to explore at their own pace. The museum also runs regular educational programs and hands-on workshops, especially for children and school groups.
In the museum courtyard stands a replica of Rome's Capitoline Wolf statue, a symbol linked to Moldova's Latin roots. This unexpected sculpture reminds visitors of the region's historical connection to ancient Rome.
