The museum opened on 24 June 2005 and is devoted entirely to Cucuteni art: the decorative art of richly painted vessels and the figurative art of human and animal figurines.
The building was designed by architect Roger Bolomey and built in 1927–1928 for the Petrodava Bank. It stands within the Princely Court, next to the Church of St John and the bell tower raised by Stephen the Great.
The same building houses the International Research Centre for the Cucuteni Culture, founded in 1995, which coordinates excavations and research on this civilisation.
Highlights
- The Frumușica Round Dance, six figurines holding hands
- Three-colour painted vessels from the Cucuteni A, AB and B phases
- Listed neo-Romanian building (1928)
