#Exhibit of the Month

In the dazzling world of precious stones and noble metals, certain jewelers stand out, mastering the art of harmonizing understated elegance with absolute refinement, genius with design, and sophistication with eternal, unforgettable splendor.
The name Fabergé, emblematic of originality and synonymous with the creations of a legendary house, has left an indelible mark on the history of jewelry and decorative arts. Renowned for uniting jewelry, artistic design, and utility into objets de luxe and objets de fantaisie, Fabergé's creations have always captivated with their exquisite craftsmanship. Fashioned from gold, silver, enamel, and precious stones, the pieces produced in Fabergé's workshops testify to exceptional virtuosity, marked by meticulous attention to detail and perfect material harmony. Even works inspired by earlier stylistic vocabularies bear the unmistakable mark of originality.

The National Museum of History of Moldova treasures a spectacular ladle, crafted in Fabergé's workshops in the late 19th century.
The Fabergé ladle is a curious blend of the "Russian style" and the "modern style." Made of solid silver, it features a circular, gold-plated bowl. Its raised, stylized handle (hook-shaped) is adorned with vegetal motifs, triple rings, and silver pearls. The rim is embellished with a wide band composed of rectangular medallions, decorated with spiral loops and stylized scales arranged alternately. The bowl is supported by four hemispherical feet. At the center, engraved inscriptions read: Eugenie von Platonow/St. Petersburg and ТОРГОВЫЙ ДОМЪ „АЛЕКСАНДРЪ"/1863/15/10/1913.
Research suggests that this ladle was commissioned by Alexander Trauberg, a first-guild merchant and owner of the "АЛЕКСАНДРЪ" Trading House located at Nevsky Boulevard 11, St. Petersburg. It was likely created to mark the 50th anniversary of his business in 1913.
The hallmark stamped on the base-Fabergé's K. ФАБЕРЖЕ logo surmounted by the Russian Empire's coat of arms, alongside the female profile in a kokoshnik within an oval frame, accompanied by the Greek letter Δ (delta) and the silver purity standard "88"-confirms that the piece was produced by Fabergé's Moscow branch.
The hypnotic charm of Fabergé's creations defined the aesthetic ideals of an era, embodying exuberance and refinement, crafted by a jeweler to kings and a king among jewelers.

INNOVATIC FEST

March 1 - May 19, 2019

From March 1 to May 19, 2019, at the National History Museum of Moldova you can interact with everything that means technology, you can discover the amazing qualities of the robots and enjoy the unique experiences in VR areas (An artificial environment created by computer).

With VR headphones/glases and a controller, you are transported to a new world where you can explore, play or experience new sensations) and in AR areas (at first glance resembles virtual reality, which can also be used through mobile devices, but essentially these are two completely different technologies and experiences). Virtual reality requires "immersing" in a virtual environment without keeping touch with the real world around you. Instead, augmented reality overlaps 3D objects over the real world to create the feeling that it is right in front of you, keeping in touch with the physical world.

Here you can enjoy poetry recitals by the Tespian Robot and dance with dancing robots on rhythms of the song „Constantine-Constantine". You will be amazed at the ease with which robot spiders overcome obstacles and you will remain fascinated for life by the star of the Las Vegas Innovation Exhibition 2019 - the Aibo pup!

More than 30 robots and interactive VRs are waiting for you as you have never seen before and ... INCREDIBLE! - all flavoured with a tasty coffee served by CoffeeBot!
