A Piece of the Story (2013)

At the initiative of the French organizers of the European Night of Museums, we invite you to discover the hidden story of a unique selection of objects hosted by museums participating in the 9th edition of the event, which runs on Saturday, May 18, 2013.

Because the Night of Museums is held only once a year and you cannot be in several places at once, we invite you to discover a series of objects and their stories in a virtual journey to The Art Museum “Vasile Grigore”– painter and collector, “Dumitru Furnică-Minovici“ Museum of Western Art, Bellu Museum, National Museum of Geology, Brasov County Museum of History, County Museum of Ethnography and Border Regiment Caransebes, National History and Archaelogy Museum Constanța, National Museum of Agriculture Slobozia.

Among the pieces waiting to be discovered at the Night of Museums are very different objects, sometimes important for their value, sometimes with an unusual history, interesting or with funny details.

The objects and their stories are linked below:
