The best museums Piatra Neamţ

The main museums are located on the outskirts of Piața Libertății. The Museum of Ethnography, housed in a beautiful neo-Romanesque mansion dating from 1924, evokes village life in every season. The art museum mainly exhibits works by local artists. It is housed in a former school built in 1930. Further south, the History Museum (bulevardul Eminescu, 10) displays relics from prehistory and the Middle Ages, particularly from the era of the Princely Court. A small museum dedicated to the latter has been set up in its ruins, Piața Libertății.

In a beautiful neo-Brazilian style building, this unique museum, opened in 2005, presents an exceptional archaeological heritage, consisting of painted ceramics, statuettes and other objects from the Cucuteni culture. This refined Neolithic civilization, which extended over the present territories of Romania, Moldova and Ukraine, flourished around 5000 BC. Cucuteni is the name of the Romanian village where the first remains were discovered.
