The old Soviet administrative building was given over to the war museum. I don’t know who this is intended for, since Moldova has only existed for 30 years and has never been at war with anyone. The guide's explanations did not allow us to understand what the authors of this exhibition wanted to say. The only thing that haunts them is the civil war in Moldova in 1990s, which they call Transistria (apparently, this is somehow connected with Romania). Everything else is purely politicized and was not interesting to me, since young Eastern European states are known for their unscrupulousness in writing their own history. I don't recommend it.

Well, they had an event when I went, so we could not visit it. But we could take photos and poke all the exhibits in the yard, so that was pretty neat. Quite a few interesting exhibits, ranging from grenade launchers to war planes. All of them have clear descriptions. Next time, maybe I see it all.

It’s located in Chișinău, capital of Moldova. It has many exhibitions and halls. Many tanks, cannons and aircraft mainly used in world war and Afghanistan war.

We visited this museum just for curiosity, attracted by the military machines that you can see for free outside, but inside we was shocked, there are a lot of artefacts and information about the different periods of the local history that is intersecting with the European, Ottoman and of course the Soviet Union directions. It's absolutely recommendable and for continue the same thematic you can walk about 10-15 minutes to the Museum of History to continue the impressions.

We were very fortunate that we visited when it was really quite and one of the museum staff escorted us around the exhibits. She didn’t speak English but ensured we got the most from what was on offer.
The rooms are arranged in a timeline from ancient times, medical, WW2, Soviet occupation to the most recent conflict with Russia. There is also a collection of military hardware in the courtyard.
I’d definitely recommend a visit.

The outdoor exhibition is free. It contains a bunch of tanks and stuff. The real gem is inside. You pay 10 MDL to get in. The first few halls cover weapons from stone age and so forth, and then you get to see halls focusing the 1992 conflict at Transnistria, as well as Moldovan involvement in Afghan and Iraq. The real cool stuff is actually underground - a special exhibition on Soviet occupation. Unfortunately it contains very few text explanation, and even fewer of them in English. Still, worth a visit for sure.

A must do activity for anyone who is interested in military history.
The Transnistrian war and the Soviet Occupation on Moldova section is heart breaking but without knowing what happened we might take part of the repetition of the history, not doing anything anything about that, being as guilty as the aggressors.
I recommend getting a guide in case you don't read and speak Romanian or Russian

Limited but reasonable representation of Moldovan struggles since WW2, through the Soviet era struggles and Afghan war, to Independence and the war in Transnistria. There are exhibits of military hardware and weaponry, including tanks, trucks, rocket launchers, guns and other militaria. Little or no English explanations or labelling but I was able to follow the flow and got the gist of the historical issues and consequences. 10 lei entry fee plus further 10 lei to take photos.

We decided to visit on the last day not expecting much. For me it was a perfect museum especially if you are interested in the 1992 civil war, communism, the 2nd World War, Stalin and everything else that Moldova has endured.
The displays were vivid, creatively put together, and informative. I could easily have spent 3 hours there.
