Museum of the Union
Muzeul Unirii
Prince Cuza's palace in Iași, displaying artefacts from the union of the principalities and Iași's role as provisional capital during World War I.
The Museum of the Union occupies an imperial-style mansion on the north side of Union Square. From 1859 to 1862 it was the residence of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first ruler after unification. During World War I, King Ferdinand I also stayed here when he took refuge in Iași. The galleries recreate Cuza's study and drawing room, and display documents, costumes and furniture. It is closed on Mondays, admission is about 10 lei, and the museum is small, so you can see it in half an hour.
