Muzeul Universității de Stat din Moldova
A hidden natural-history museum, with taxidermy and a passionate curator
A walk among stuffed turtles, sharks and crocodiles, with a curator who opens the door for you.
A small but surprisingly rich museum, praised for its taxidermy collection and welcoming curator. A cheap, different stop downtown, especially with curious kids or on a rainy day.
The State University zoology museum is a hidden gem downtown: rooms full of taxidermy — turtles, sharks, crocodiles, birds, seals — well curated, in an old-fashioned setting. You ring the bell and the curator lets you in. An unexpected, instructive stop.
