It was established on the 10th of April 1914, but got the name of "Vasile Pârvan Museum" in 1957. It started with the archaeology - history - coins department and the art gallery. In the year 1956 emerged the natural sciences department, and in 1965 the department called "Outstanding People of Bârlad".
