The museum of national importance in the village of Donici, Orhei district, is the parental home where the poet Alexander Donici was born. During the Soviet period, before the house-museum was created, this building served as the village school. It consists of four rooms, two of which, the main house and the writer's study, are furnished with 19th-century objects, Moldovan carpets and Egyptian-style furniture (very fashionable then). The other two rooms are exhibition halls, presenting the life and works of the great Moldovan fable writer. The museum also has a rich collection of household items, including the only one of the poet's personal belongings that has survived - a rifle from the first half of the 19th century. The museum's archive holds an impressive collection of publications of the time, as well as documents and images that are somehow or other connected with the writer's life. The house-museum is located in the middle of a small park, and next to it is the church of the Donici family, built by the poet's father. There are also family tombs, as well as the spring "Stânca" ("The Rock"), which was created by the parents - Dimitrie and Helena Donici. In 1977, the parental home of the writer was declared a museum.
