Village museum of Chișinău

The Village Museum spans several acres featuring authentic wooden structures, traditional farmsteads, and agricultural tools representing Moldovan rural settlements throughout different periods.

Founded in 1991 as a branch of the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History, this open-air museum received its official inauguration in May 1995.

The museum exhibits a complete wooden church from Hirișeni built in 1642, standing 27 meters tall as Moldova's most significant ecclesiastical monument.

The museum maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours available in multiple languages to explain the historical context of each structure.

A collection of original peasant houses, workshops, and agricultural implements demonstrates the evolution of Moldovan farming techniques from the 17th to 19th centuries.
