The opening of the documentary exhibition „A Shared Vision for the Modernization of Chișinău” took place on June 17, 2026, at the Chisinau City History Museum, to mark the 590th anniversary of Chisinau’s first documented mention.

The exhibition highlights the remarkable collaboration between Mayor Carol Schmidt (1846–1928) and architect Alexandru Bernardazzi (1831–1907), who helped transform Chișinău into a city with a European identity, placing it within the aesthetic, architectural, and cultural context of the era.

We are highlighting this important chapter in the city’s history by showcasing the contributions of these two figures to the development of Chișinău.
