An imaginary journey through Bucharest of XXth century, photo exhibition

The Bucharest Museum in partnership with the National History Museum of Moldova presents, until 31 May, a photo exhibition entitled "Bucharest: a Novecento Portrait". The exhibition is an imaginary journey through Bucharest of the XXth century, says the doctor in history, Adrian Majuru, present at the inauguration of the exhibition, reports Radio Moldova.

"The theme is dedicated to city life. We consider that Bucharest is no different from Chisinau, people are like, have the same concerns regardless of historical time and we want to highlight this through a series of replicated photographic details that cover about 100 years, refers to the last century," he mentioned the manager of Bucharest Municipal Museum, doctor in history, Adrian Majuru.

The exhibition comprises 44 photographs and presents a journey through Bucharest in the 20th century, which wants to show the urban and architectural evolution of the city.

In turn, the director of the Bucharest Museum, Adrian Majuru, said that Bucharest is a city that we wanted to know.

"It's a dynamic city, but it's also a troubled city, like all major metropolis. But we really wanted to see what we have together, what are our problems, what things have changed, what is similar in our lives, but also what is specially the same and helps us in this extraordinary diversity of lived lives to know each other better. This is a case study, that's why we stopped in the twentieth century - it is the most dynamic in change, not only in terms of architecture or urbanism, but also in terms of people's lives. During this time, many things have happened, our state of mind has changed, and then we have to adapt. Here are pictures that date back to 1900 and stop in 1989. And from what I have seen here, there is the same danger in recent history as for the city of Chisinau. There are particular things that we do not have in Bucharest, there are also some wonderful buildings in an architecture that an empire once thought of in order to equip a state of mind," the Romanian guest underlined, according to Moldpres.

Adrian Majuru invited his colleagues from the capital of Moldova to come with an exhibition in Bucharest, because Chisinau is not yet well known in the Romanian capital.
