Muzeul Naţional Cotroceni în anul Centenarului
Cotroceni National Museum in the Centennial year

Summary/Abstract: Cotroceni Palace, which today is the seat of the Presidential Administration and a host of Cotroceni National Museum, is located in a historical place having a tradition of more than four hundred years. The museum is arranged within a historical monument being outstanding for the Romanian architecture at the end of the 19th century, namely Cotroceni Royal Palace, which integrated a significant part of the mediaeval architecture of the monastery founded by the prince of Wallachia, Şerban Cantacuzino, towards the end of the 17th century. In the Centennial Year, Cotroceni National Museum intends to continue its mission, namely that of being an environment for debate and artistic dialogue, and, on the other hand, of supporting the initiatives regarding the process of restoration, preservation and capitalization of the national cultural heritage, as a way to promote the national identity, closely connected to the academic environment and civil society. Beyond a very respectful reminder of the past, the mark-up of the Centennial year must be focused on the educational side.
