Alexei Shchusev Street and Muzeum
We arrived near Alexei Shchusev Street. This street bears the name of the architect, who designed modern Chisinau. On the same street there is also a museum that bears his name, organized into the house where the architect was born in 1873. Since childhood, he stood out in art and the decision to become an architect was not surprising. He had remarkable successes, studied architecture and painting in Italy, France, Tunisia, England.
Upon his return, Alexey Shchusev begins his professional career. Today he is known as the author of important buildings on the territory of the former Soviet Union: Lenin's Mausoleum, Kazansky Railway Station, Moscow Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Pocheev. He also led the reconstruction of Chisinau after World War II. We recommend that you visit the architect's museum to learn about his life and work better.
