Nikolay Zelinsky Museum

The Nikolay Zelinsky Museum is a memorial housed in a historic building in Tiraspol dedicated to a renowned Russian chemist and his scientific career. The exhibits display laboratory equipment, scientific instruments, personal items, and documents that illustrate his research and professional life.

The museum was established in 1987 in the former residence of a chemist who lived and worked in the early 1900s. His inventions during World War I transformed science and industry on a global scale.

The name honors a chemist whose research shaped scientific progress in his era. Today visitors can see how laboratory work was conducted and how his discoveries influenced the world around him.

The museum is located in a protected historic building in central Tiraspol and can be reached easily on foot. Plan enough time to explore the exhibition rooms at a leisurely pace and examine the historical objects closely.

The chemist refused to patent his most important invention so it would benefit humanity without restrictions. This rare choice reveals an approach to science that is less common in modern times.
