Chisinau’s City Museum, also known as the Water Tower, will be open to visitors on Saturdays as well, in response to parents’ requests. The Tower will still remain closed on Mondays and Sundays.

Liubov Coșman, muzeographer and  guide at the Water Tower, told IPN visitors can see at the museum various exhibits related to the city’s history, from its first record to the 1980s’. Visitors can also catch a great cityscape view from the Tower’s height. 

The entry fee for an adult is 10 lei, for higher-education students 5 lei and for schoolchildren 2 lei. A guided tour, which should be booked in advance, costs 50 lei for standard groups and 30 for student groups.

The Water Tower is a monument of industrial architecture executed in an eclectic style. Located at the intersection of the streets Alexei Mateevici and Mitropolit Gavriil Bănulescu-Bodoni, the Water Tower originally served the self-explanatory, practical purpose. It has been elevated to the status of a municipal and national architectural landmark.
