Pushkin House-Museum
Casa-muzeu „Alexandr Pușkin”
Pushkin's residence during his exile in Chișinău from 1820 to 1823, with a restored bedroom, writing desk and facsimile manuscripts.
While the Russian poet Alexander Pushkin was exiled in Bessarabia, he lived in this small house and wrote works including “The Prisoner of the Caucasus.” A statue of the poet stands in the courtyard. The residence has a restored bedroom and study, and another exhibition hall displays his life story, manuscripts and illustrations. It's small but atmospheric, making it well suited to literature lovers. Closed on Mondays, and admission is cheap. It's in the northern part of the Old Town, about a 15-minute walk from the cathedral.
