This is by far the city's best museum, with three floors of well-done displays on the Cucutenians, a neolithic culture with advanced pottery skills that lived in the area from around 6000 BC to 3000 BC. The ground floor is given over to the stunning symmetry of Cucutenian vases and vessels, while the upper floors feature the frank sexuality of Cucutenian sculpture.
