The Museum of Fine Arts



The early Italian Renaissance and Gothic were reflected in the architecture of the Female Gimnasia of Dadiani (1900, the architect is A. Bernardazzi). The Museum of History of the Moldavian Communist Party was located here. Now it is the Museum of Fine Arts (31 August 1989 Street). This building is remarkable for simultaneously lyrical and monumental character. Its volumetric plan is based on symmetry. The building has the T-shaped plan. The walls are made of the traditional Moldovan building material - "kotelets" and red brick of two shades. Windows and doors are ornamented with various Gothic decorative elements that perfectly harmonize. The interior, where the skylight is used, looks very interesting.
