Chisinau museums

#bucketlistreboot There are a number of interesting museums to visit. Unfortunately our full day in Chisinau was on a national holiday, so all museums were closed and we only had time to visit one museum during our stay. We were interested in visiting the Museum of Chisinau, the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History and the Village Museum. Perhaps we will visit these during a future trip. Having finished with the park, head over to the Lenin Memorial. Not so much impressive however, it’s very interesting especially if you’re fascinated by soviet memorabilia. Remember that Moldova still has a Communist Party and hence communist symbols and doctrines have continued even after the Soviet independence. #moldova #chisinau

National History Museum of Moldova

#bucketlistreboot The National History Museum Originally built as a lyceum, this then later became what it is today. The museum is structured into many scientific sections: Ancient History and Archaeology, Medieval History, History of Basarabia, Contemporary History, Treasures. The museum highlights artefacts that showcase a common heritage with Romania and the wider Romanian space as well as items from Soviet and Russian imperial rule. One thing we found very interesting is that whilst the objects are described i.e. this is a fountain pen, there aren’t any descriptions to explain the background behind those objects. So some background knowledge beforehand is needed to fully appreciate the museum and its artefacts. #moldova #chisinau

"The Nativity of Christ" Metropolitan Cathedral

#bucketlistreboot Nativity Cathedral and Cathedral Park Now this is a really nice park with plenty of willow trees and green spaces. In the middle of the park one can observe the white Nativity Cathedral. The Cathedral of Christ’s Nativity is the main cathedral of the Moldovan Orthodox Church in Central Chișinau. It was commissioned by the governor of New Russia, Prince Mikhail Vorontsov, and Metropolitan Gavril Bănulescu-Bodoni in 1830. Inside the cathedral one can notice typical Orthodox motifs with very impressive holy paintings. We really enjoyed taking a stroll through the park as well. We actually sat down at one of the outdoors coffee shops and enjoyed and nice hot cup of cappuccino. Yum! #moldova #chisinau
