The Museum of Alexandru Ioan Cuza University in Iasi is a fascinating institution that combines academic heritage and archaeological research. Located on Titu Maiorescu Street in Copou, this museum has been functioning since 2011 as a department of the university. 

The building itself dates back to 1911 and features a Neo-Romanian style with Art Nouveau elements. 

The museum's mission is to preserve and showcase the history of higher education in Iasi. Here are some highlights:
