The Gold of the Apuseni exhibition: about the enhancement of the industrial heritage of Roşia Montană (Romania)

Summary/Abstract: This text is a critique of an exhibition dedicated to the history of mining in Roşia Montană (Alba County, Romania) and organized by the Roşia Montană’s Town Hall, the National History Museum of Romania (Bucharest), the National Museum of Unification (Alba Iulia), and Roşia Montană Gold Corporation (RMGC) – a private mining company interested in the resources of the region. I maintain that by the way the exhibits are presented the exhibition destroys the difference of the pre-modern pasts, naturalizes and promotes the present capitalist values and economic interests of RMGC.
