„Women history in pictures”

February 17-29, 2016

The exhibition seeks to restore the image of the past by focusing on outstanding figures of ladies and young ladies from Moldova of the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries.

The organisation of this exhibition was determined by the discovery of a series of portraits of ladies and girls from Moldova from the medieval and modern period as a result of scientific research in libraries and archives in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Unfortunately the museum collections in Moldova lack entirely paintings with realistic images of Moldovan women of the seventeenth century.

The exhibition presents about 50 images of women from the medieval and modern Moldavian high society - wives and daughters of rulers, wives of officials - copies of their original letters, old documents showing social, cultural, political and scientific activity of women in the fifteenth - nineteenth centuries.

The exhibition offers the public the opportunity to view old female images preserved on wall paintings (frescoes) and portraits owned by museums abroad or in private collections, images that show the historical past, capturing everyday life, spirituality and morality of each period.

The exhibition is original in its aim to present the images for the first time although some of them were already known from scientific publications.

The exhibition contains also original typological materials that complete certain exhibition compartments.
