Revolutionary Train Museum
About This Museum
What truly sets the Revolutionary Train Museum apart is its location inside the very armored train used during the 1992 War of Transnistria; you're not just looking at history, you're standing right inside it. The museum is permanently stationed on a quiet stretch of track in Bender, a silent but powerful monument to a turbulent time. Its collection focuses entirely on this single, formidable vehicle and the stories it carries. Stepping through its carriage doors feels less like a museum visit and more like a journey into a recent, and for many, still vivid past.
Collection Highlights
You can explore the train's original command car with maps still spread out, see the cramped crew quarters, and even stand beside the imposing ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft cannon mounted on a flatbed. The artifacts are simple but poignant—personal items left behind by soldiers, photographs from the conflict, and period documents that tell the train's unique story.
Visitor Information
It's a small, open-air site that doesn't take long to see, but the impact is lasting. Just head to Strada Fiodorov in Bender—you can't miss the hulking green train on the tracks. Since it's essentially an outdoor exhibit, visiting on a nice day is your best bet.
Architecture & Building
The 'building' is the armored train itself—a stark, functional military machine from the late Soviet era, all heavy steel plating, rivets, and weathered camouflage paint.
