Summary/Abstract: The first bust of Mihail Kogălniceanu ever erected was placed in Galaţi, in 1893, only two years after the death of the great Romanian politician. Along time, it underwent a series of changes of location and even small modifications, all of them briefly presented by the present study. Nevertheless, the article focuses on the moments from 1893, surrounding the placement of the bust in Galaţi. The bust was gifted to the Townhall of Galaţi by the great man of culture and politician, V.A. Urechia.
