Suceviţa Monastery was built by the Movileşti boyars between 1581 and 1601. "Resurrection" Church, built in 1583, was painted on the interior and exterior between 1596 and 1601 by the craftsmen Ioan and Sofronie. The complex is considered to be the "testament of old Moldavian art". The monument is listed on the UNESCO List. The exhibition is organized in one of the halls of the old abbey, recently restored, where embroideries are on display (the tombstones of Ieremia and Simion Movilă); manuscripts; liturgy books; icons; silverware. The monastery is endowed with a rich library.
