This was hands down my favorite visit in chisinau. The exterior and interior are both absolutely gorgeous, perfect for artsy photographs. I was also impressed by both the permanent collection and the temporary exhibits of art they had in the musuem. It is a rather large place so there is a lot to see (including a wonderful japanese art exhibit) and we spent a good amount of time there. The staff who work there are also so friendly and kind, which made the experience even better.

What a great and educational visit! This museum is most definitely in our top 5 attractions in Chisinau. For only 20MDL you get access to amazing exhibitions and most importantly to understanding the history of Moldova. We were star struck by the diorama - seeing the 800sqm representation of war must be one of our highlights of our trip!

It is a very good place to get to know more about the poet, the guide was very passionate and progessional! If you can I advise to do the excursion in Russian, then you will hear part of his poetry related to his presence in Besarabia.
