Archaeological museum at Butuceni, free entry and finds from the Orheiul Vechi area
A free visit through a collection of pieces found in the Orheiul Vechi area itself
Worth a short stop on the way to Orheiul Vechi, above all because entry is free and the display is well done.
Small archaeological museum in the village of Butuceni, at the entrance towards Orheiul Vechi, open daily from 9:00 to 17:00. One detailed review gives all the particulars: the museum is carefully restored, entry is free, and the display is very well done and well maintained. The collection covers important stages of civilisation, from the Late Palaeolithic, some thirty thousand to twenty thousand years ago, through to the late Middle Ages, with pieces found in the Orheiul Vechi area. The same visitor notes that the museum opened in 2003 and that the exhibition hall has been renovated, and that the collection numbers around one hundred and eighty-six archaeological and anthropological items. The other visitors are brief but consistent: a good place to learn history, one that leaves you with plenty of questions.
