The situation of Moldovas Museums

Strenghts

Even if our country is a small one , the are a lot of museums in Moldova. They are a tool in protecting a good part of our culture and history. There a museums dedicated to various domains like : Ethnography and Natural History; Arts; Archaeology and History; Military History etc. It doesn't cost you much money to visit a museum.

Weaknesses
People dont visit them Our government do not seem to give support and enough funds to our museums. It is boring to visit them.They dont organize various holidays , exhibitions in a interesting and exciting way.

Opportunities

Museums will develop if the Ministry of Culture will allocate more fund to maintain them , so the will organize more attractive exhibitions. The UE integration can be a opportunity because in UE the culture is much protected and funded.

Threats

Museums can be closed Our culture can be forgotten P eople will become uninformed and spiritually poor

The End. Thank you for your attention
