CHISINAU, May 19, 2019 — The National Army’s Museum has organized an event that is part of the European project “Night of Museums” during the night of Saturday to Sunday.

The activity has been conducted together with the Mayoralty of Centru district and included an exceptional art program consisting of music performances, theatre presentations, fights improvisation, and a march with torches on the streets of Chisinau city.

The visitors had also the opportunity to attend thematic exhibitions launched on this occasion — a unique exhibition of military uniforms including contemporary uniforms of partner states which are part of the collections of the Military Museum and Customs Service’s Museum and the exhibition of postcards and post stamps dedicated to old Chisinau which belong to the Union of Philatelists of the Republic of Moldova.

During the event, General State Secretary, Radu Burduja, said that the National Army’s Museum has joined this initiative since the beginning, in 2005, and has presented spectacular programs to its visitors, with a focus on the military history, a history that must be known by every Moldovan citizen.

Radu Burduja invited the guests to visit the defense institution’s Museum more often so they could better understand the military history, including the history of the National Army.

The European Night of Museums is a cultural event that is organized every year, in May, at the initiative of the Ministry of Culture of France and that is currently sponsored by the European Council, UNESCO, and the International Council of Museums (ICOM).

In the Republic of Moldova, the event has been organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Research and aimed to bring the Museums’ collections to the public’s attention, as well as to raise public awareness concerning the problems faced by the museums.
