The National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova is one of the most important museum institutions of the Republic of Moldova, in terms of its collection and scientific prestige.
The State Museum of History of MSSR was created on the basis of the Republican Museum of Military Glory, into which it was incorporated, and the historical collection of the State Museum of History and Regional Studies of MSSR.

Housed in a building on the Stefan the Great Boulevard, the main road in Chisinau, this is one of the leading opera and ballet theatres in Eastern Europe. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the theatre was one of the few to retain its own ballet, opera and orchestra, with its own soloists and chorus, and now has some great equipment and facilities. In 2012, it was given the name of the renowned opera singer Maria Bieșu.

Presently, the theater employs a group of talented seasoned as well as young artists, some of whom are graduates from the Choreographic College in Chisinau. In recent years the troupe has traveled far and wide, often touring in the near and far abroad countries – Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Portugal, France, Spain, Britain, etc. – adjusting its repertoire to the wishes of foreign impresarios, focused on specific national tastes.

The National Art Museum

The museum has a splendid collection of masterpieces of the great autochthonous and European painters, as well as those from Russia, Western Europe, Japan, India, and China.

Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Saviour is a beautiful church, one of the main attractions in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova.

Located in the heart of the capital, the Church of Schimbarea la Faţă a Mântuitorului is one of the finest such structures. It is located between the Parliament and the Presidential Administration, and represents a splendid piece of architecture which comprises grandeur, elegance and architectural poise.

The Schimbarea la Faţă a Mântuitorului [the Transfiguration of the Christ] Church was built between 1898 and 1902, thanks to a large donation made by Governor General Constantin Alexandrov.

The same year it was built, the church was sanctified and opened for public service. During the years of Communist rule, when Moldova was part of the Soviet Union, the church was used as a planetarium. Since Moldova gained its independence in 1992, the building has been serving its original purpose.
