The exhibition called '160 years since the founding of the Royal House of Romania' will open on Thursday at 12:00 in the Kretzulescu Halls of the National Museum of Art of Romania (MNAR).
Organized by the MNAR, the Her Majesty's Royal House Association and AGERPRES National News Agency to mark a key historical milestone, the 160th anniversary of the founding of the Royal House of Romania (1866-2026), the documentary exhibition features 32 photographic panels provided by AGERPRES, highlighting important moments in the history of the Monarchy in Romania.
Some of the panels feature archival images from the two reigns of King Michael I, the story continuing with contemporary photos depicting him after his return to Romania in 1997.
Furthermore, a significant part of the photographic collection provided by AGERPRES captures the present-day activities of Her Majesty Margareta, Custodian of the Crown.
In addition, 15 items from the National Museum of Art of Romania's collection are featured, including portraits of all the kings and queens of Romania - from the bronze bust of Prince Carol I, as captured by the German artist Carl Cauer, the bronze bust of Queen Elisabeth by Wladimir Hegel, the marble bust of King Michael I by Oscar Han, to paintings signed by Carol Popp de Szathmari and Costin Petrescu depicting King Ferdinand and Queen Marie.
The exhibition will also feature several precious decorative art objects, including a cup created by Emile Galle from 1900, decorated with the signature of Queen Elisabeth, and a buckle adorned with precious stones, worn by Princess Ileana during the Coronation Ceremony at Alba Iulia in 1922.
The '160 years since the founding of the Royal House of Romania' exhibition can be visited until April 30. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Daniel Popescu; EN - writing by: Rodica State)
