description Museum collections are constantly replenished through purchases, donations and archaeological excavations. The subject of the article is an important acquisition made by our museum in the first half of 2018. As a result of field investigations, in the village of Brânzeni, Edineţ District, six pieces of furniture were purchased dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Five of them: a wardrobe, a sofa, a chest of drawers, a chair and a wall mirror belonged to the great Bessarabian patriot and philanthropist Vasile Stroescu (1845-1926), who was born in an old Moldavian boyar family from the village of Trinka of Khotinsky Uyezd, whose nobility was recognized by the tsarist authorities. Items were purchased from Elizaveta Gureu, granddaughter of Gheorghe Tincu, who was the steward of the Brânzeni estate owned by the Stroescu family. The sixth item purchased, a dowry chest (“sofka”), belonged to the grandfather of Elizaveta Gureu, Gheorghe Tincu. Some of the objects inherited from Vasile Stroescu have already undergone restoration, others are in the process. They have great memorial significance, as they are associated with the name of an outstanding Romanian historical figure, and will occupy a special place in the collections of the National Museum of History of Moldova. Items from the legacy of Vasile Stroescu deserve to be included in the scientific and museum circulation.
