"The Artefact from Your Village"

November 1-14, 2024

From November 1 to 14, 2024, the National Museum of History of Moldova is hosting the exhibition "The Artifact from Your Town" in its central hall. This exhibition is part of a project implemented by the NGO "ICOM National Committee Moldova" and funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Moldova, under the "2024 Cultural Projects Funding Program." This exhibition is one of the key activities of the project, which brings to the forefront the archaeological heritage uncovered in rural areas of the Republic of Moldova. The project highlights artifacts from 24 localities across the Northern, Central, and Southern regions of the country, offering the public a chance to explore a part of their local history.

The exhibition showcases 24 exceptional archaeological artefacts discovered in various locations across Moldova, which have been added over time to the collections of the National Museum of History of Moldova and the National Museum of Ethnography and Natural History. These items-including tools, ceramics, cult objects, and jewelry-offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the traditions, occupations, and everyday life of our ancestors.

The aim of the exhibition is to bring the public closer to local cultural heritage, contributing to education and awareness about the historical and identity value of these artefacts. Each exhibit is accompanied by informative panels, images, maps, and explanations detailing the historical period, purpose, and cultural context of the discoveries. Visitors will also have the chance to attend public lectures led by experienced archaeologists and museum professionals, who will share captivating insights into the history and significance of these objects.

"Artefact from Your Village" invites all those interested in history, archaeology, and cultural identity, with a special focus on young people and students, who will discover the story of their native place through authentic and engaging narratives.

The exhibition will be open from November 1 to 14, 2024, in the ground-floor hall of the National Museum of History of Moldova, located at 121A 31 August 1989 Street, Chișinău.
