Museum Night – a night adventure in the Temple of Memory

15 May 2010

The National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova participated for the fifth time in the “Museum Night” – an exceptional European cultural event.

Organizers have prepared on this occasion a special program designed to present the Museum and its collections in a very special atmosphere. The program began on May 15 at 18.00 and ended on May 16 at 2.00.

The visitors were entertained by characters in costumes of different times, which enlivened some pages of history, by the piano and gramophone music, by dance and theatrical performances, by screenings of historical documentary, by demonstrations of fencing and fighting knights. Among the spectacular moments of the event there was the torchlight procession of “medieval knights” in chain mail around the museum. Throughout the Museum Night the visitors were treated to tea with herbs and berries prepared according to old recipes.

In the Museum courtyard there was opened the Handicraft Fair „Centuries-Old Crafts in Contemporary Vision”, the 2nd Edition. The visitors had the chance to see and buy the most beautiful handicraft articles, to watch the process of making of pottery, jewellery, knitted and crocheted articles.
