House-of-Culture mosaic, Cimișeni

Sign in to check in

A mosaic on the former House of Culture in Cimișeni, Criuleni district (a village recorded from the 19th century — 1,680 souls in Zamfir Arbore's Geographic Dictionary of Bessarabia, 1904). The building, in the village centre near the town hall, today houses a construction-materials store, but its facade keeps a ceramic mosaic panel on a cultural theme: a violinist at the centre flanked by youthful figures beneath a radiant sun, in light blues, whites and gold. The Mosaics of Moldova inventory records several mosaics here on the former house of culture, listed as unprotected; the work has no documented author or year. (Not to be confused with the mosaic on the former 'Luminița' library in the same village — a separate work.)
