Railway Line Between Bender and Galaţi - 140th Anniversary

Railway Line Between Bender and Galaţi - 140th Anniversary

Blog article
From July 27 to September 10, 2017, the National Museum of History of Moldova in Chişinău organizes an exhibition of ancient photographs dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the construction of the railway line between Bender (Tighina), a city administered today by the authorities of Transnistria, and the Romanian town of Galaţi, an important port on the Danube river (not far from the south-western border of present-day Moldova). Through these 32 period photographs (by photographer I.
