Lonely Planet review for National Archaeology & History Museum

The National Archaeology & History Museum is the granddaddy of Chişinău's museums, and well worth visiting. It has archaeological artefacts from Orheiul Vechi including Golden Horde coins, Soviet-era weaponry and a huge WWII diorama on the 1st floor, where you can speak to a man who spent 12 years as a political prisoner at a worker's camp in desolate Vorkuta in northern Siberia.

A statue of Lupoaica Romei (the wolf of Rome) and the abandoned children Romulus and Remus stands in front of the museum. To Moldovans, this is a symbol of their Latin ancestry.
