Evidence of mobile cultural goods is an important part of the protection, research and
valorization of museum heritage. In the study we analyzed the principles, tools and mechanisms

and the formation of the first public museums until now. The process of evidence
at the oldest museum in Bessarabia was very difficult, being influenced by political events,
administrative changes, different strategies used during the existence of the institution.
