In 1934, the museum acquired the archaeology collection from Mihai Dimitriu, the first custodian of the institution, and a coleoptera collection belonging to Professor Alecu Alesînschi (lost after the 1965 reorganization). In 1974, the museum heritage was enriched by archaeological finds coming from the campaigns of 1926 - 1951 undertaken by Professor Radu Vulpe and Ecaterina Vulpe in the site of Poiana-Nicorești (Piroboridava) until then kept in the deposits of the Bucharest Institute of Archaeology.

In 1925, the people of Tecuci have built the very first statue in the world in memory of the hero scouts. “Tecuci Scouts Cohort "Oltea Doamna" is one of the oldest parties of its kind in the country. It was founded in 1915, the purple scarf was its distinctive sign and had 150 members. Its leader was E. Ovid Gheorghel, the commissioner of the Galati county, and the instructor was V. Berheciu. Among the associate’s supporters were the political persons Alecu P. Anastasiu, Nestor Cincu, Ionel Georgiade and others. The remaining testimonies from the scouts are very impressive. The association substantially contributed to the national consciousness creation, an essential factor in the historical times, when the identity and independence of a nation is in danger. Since 1992, scouts from different areas of the country (about 20.000 in 26 years) have arrived to Tecuci where specific the organization activities have taken place, but also artistic events, fun sports activities, and obviously the swearing-in ceremony.
