Alexander Pushkin House-Museum · Casa-Muzeu „Aleksandr Pușkin”
The house where Pushkin lived in Chișinău, with authentic artifacts and a garden with surprises
The house where Pushkin lived, with authentic artifacts and a Baba Yaga house in the garden
Worth a short, quiet visit in the centre, above all if the period interests you. Note that there is no guide in English, as one visitor points out.
House museum on Anton Pann street, in the house where the poet Alexandr Pushkin lived after arriving in Chișinău on 21 September 1820. One visitor notes, citing the information on site, that the poet stayed here for three months and that the building then belonged to the merchant Naumov. Reviews describe a small museum, beautifully arranged and well maintained, with authentic artifacts, traces of family genealogy and a serene atmosphere with no crowds. The staff are mentioned separately: older people, described as remarkably kind and refined, who add a personal touch to the visit. One visitor mentions a surprise in the garden, a whimsical Baba Yaga house tucked away at the back. The visit is short and compact. The only complaint in the reviews: a guide explaining in English would help. Closed on Monday, open from 10:00 to 16:00.
