Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Comrat is a small city so it won't be difficult to locate this museum, and there aren't many tourist attractions. The entrance fee is very low and when we arrived with our guide, the female museum curator insisted she narrate in Russian. Our guide translated what she said, but this just made the tour of the museum twice as long. You can see the museum in about an hour if you walk around by yourself. The museum covers all things Comrat from old to new and they even have discovered woolly mammoths in the area.

We are the First Tour Company to take Guests to Gagauzia, Comrat and The Museum is Great! The staff are not accustomed to tourist at all, and we were treated with super friendly 5 star treatment! I paid one price for the entire group of 22 tourist I was guiding and 2 museum staff lead us through both levels of the museum! Such friendly people and a nice collection of vintage items both from Gagauzia and from the former Soviet Union! The Gagauz are interesting people and speak a mix of Turkish, Russian and some Romanian. It is an autonomous Republic without border guards! I have many, many friends there now and business contacts and I'm allowed to do as I wish with tourist without any problems or bribes!

This museum is small but has a very interesting collection depicting Gagauz history and culture. As I am not familiar with Gagauz history and culture, my visit to this museum was fascinating and a learning experience. Because it is a small museum and maybe because it is not often visited by foreign tourists, the vibe is casual and friendly. The staff were super nice and accommodating. Nothing is in English so it is best to visit with a guide who can explain, and also translate what the staff there shares further.

I have very recently visited the Comrat Museum of History. I recommend it to anyone who goes past Comrat, because it is quite small, approachable and a unique experience. The museum means to show three topics: 1) the history of Gagauzia, and its fight for autonomy; 2) the history and traditions of the Gagauz people.
Entering the Museum you step back in time. To the days when the curators would point at black and white exhibits with glorious short titles with a wooden stick, and would bark the explanations. The entire museum is like this, except for a sort of diorama on the first floor, regarding the natural habitat of the area.
The museum has two levels. On the first level, in the first room, you find panels about the Independence of Moldova and the Autonomy of Gagauzia, plus official gifts from various foreign countries. In the second room you find panels about the First and Second World War (Warning! there are some unsettling images, including one of hangings), from a Soviet perspective, but also of the Great Famine of 1946-1947 (about 30% of the Gagauz people died then), and the cultural movement of 1988-1990 leading to the (failed) Gagauz proclamation of independence.
The first floor is dedicated to culture, sports, the history of this previously nomadic people, as well as the language. They exhibit the few books which are available in the Gagauz language. There are moving exhibits which illustrate the roughness of this people's lives.
All in all, if you pass Comrat, do take 30-45 minutes to step into a time capsule.
