Some considerations regarding museification of the monuments in Moldova. The issue of protecting and highlighting cultural heritage was and still remains one of the most difficult, even vulnerable matters, although during the last 10 to 15 years several models, methods, international standards, laws with regard to the protection of historical monuments and culture, of material and immaterial heritage, were elaborated. The Republic of Moldova, a young state that proclaimed its independence and sovereignty in 1991, is no exception on this matter. The issue of protecting the national cultural heritage is a permanent topic within scientific discussions; it is debated in mass media, and under the attention of the Republic of Moldova Parliament. Field specialists have concluded a long time ago that museification of old monuments is a realistic way to save and protect them, and would include a number of measures with regard to research, restoration and preservation, as well as scientifically highlighting their importance to the public eye. Museification is a component of the preservation and protection of monuments, a cultural phenomena, a direction of museal activity and monument protection. The essence of museification is the transformation of unmovable historical and cultural or natural items into museal objectives in order to preserve, protect and find a certain item’s historical and cultural, as well as scientific and artistic value. In a wider sense, museification is actually a passing into a museal state of any heritage item, movable or unmovable. Generally, two types of museification are accepted for unmovable monuments: - transforming the monument into a museal presentation item with the purpose of its potentially informative opening and presentation and its inclusion in the scientific and public circuit as a monument and museum; - the monument’s adaptation to museal use, be that of any profile, type or category. We believe that the first approach, „as a museum” is a realistic and present one in order to keep and highlight the value of historic and cultural monuments of the Republic. The state and society make efforts for the museification of unmovable historic and cultural cult monuments. Creating monument-museums depends not only on the actions taken by the state but a decisive role in this issue will have the national cultural awareness of all members of society. The level of awareness will determine the necessity and usefulness of transforming these monuments in museum-monuments.
