It completes the Cucuteni museum with the rest of the area's history, from the Neolithic to Daco-Roman coins, in a renewed display.
About the place
The museum grew out of the collections gathered by the priest Constantin Matasă, who founded a regional archaeology museum in 1934. Today it holds more than 70,000 items. Highlights are the Neolithic and Copper Age finds from Poduri-Dealul Ghindaru, Izvoare, Bodești-Frumușica and Ghelăiești-Nedeia, and a coin collection of almost 12,000 pieces, most from the Daco-Roman period.
The building, a listed monument, was built in 1910–1912 to plans by Ștefan Burcuș and has housed the prefecture, the courthouse and the town hall in turn. Reviews from 2025 and 2026 describe the display as modernised after renovation; there are also temporary exhibitions.
