The bronze hoard was discovered on the territory of Mîndrești village, Telenești district, in 1968. It was identified accidentally by a group of students from the village school, and the materials later came to the attention of specialists at the Institute of History of the Academy of Sciences. According to documentary records, the hoard was composed of ten pieces: four socketed axes (celts), a dagger fragment, a sword fragment, a sickle, a winged axe, an adze-axe, and a chain consisting of four links.
Currently, of the mentioned assemblage, six objects are preserved in the collections of the National Museum of History of Moldova: two socketed axes (celts), the winged axe, the adze-axe, the dagger fragment, and the chain made of four links.- Socketed axe (celt) with one loop. Dimensions: Length - 10.2 cm; Weight - 186 g.
- Socketed axe (celt) with one frontal loop. Dimensions: Length - 8.4 cm; Width: 33-46 mm; Weight - 124 g.
- Winged axe. Dimensions: Length - 14.0 cm; Width - 2.5-3.4 cm; Weight - 285 g.
- Adze-axe. Dimensions: Length - 14.8 cm; Width - 2.3-5.0 cm; Weight - 286 g.
- Dagger fragment. Dimensions: Length - 16.5 cm; Blade length - 9.8 cm; Blade width - 2.8 cm; Weight - 81 g.
- Chain formed of four links. Dimensions: Length - 17.1 cm; Link diameter - 3.8; Weight - 32 g.The bronze hoard of Mîndrești is important due to the association of objects that find analogies in the regional repertoire with pieces that show clear analogies in Central Europe and the Carpathian Basin. The assemblage reflects a zone of contact and interaction where metallic forms of different origins and traditions circulated and were integrated into the repertoire of local communities.
Chronologically, the bronze hoard of Mîndrești is attributed to the Early Hallstatt period - HaA1, being dated to 1200-1100 BC.

Abstract: The National Museum of History of Moldova for the first time held a temporary exhibition dedicated to the history of advertising in Bessarabia (19th century 1930s). It was presented to the public in the hall upstairs from 24 December 2015 to 15 February 2016. The exhibition "Advertisements in Bessarabia" was aimed at promoting the museum collections, especially periodical press fund. It included about 106 exhibits. Newspapers were the most important means of advertising before the advent of radio and television. Selected advertisements contain information about the trading houses, factories, hotels, shops, bank offices, bars, theater and circus in Bessarabia, mainly in Chisinau. Images of Chisinau streets and buildings of previous years introduced the visitors to the atmosphere of bygone days. In the showcases promotional items were exhibited. As carriers of advertising information there were represented packages of goods. The exhibition was supplemented by the reconstruction of a kiosk of the late 19th century. The creators of the exhibition sought to immerse its visitors into the world of desires, expectations and values of the society in a certain historical period.
