The exhibition "Forgotten Neighbourhoods of Bucharest - The Jewish Quarter" will open at the headquarters of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Levant Culture and Civilisation today in Bucharest.
The exhibition is divided into four sections - "Religious Buildings and Personalities," "Cultural Buildings", "Public Buildings - Education and Schools", "Medical Institutions and Personalities, Bankers, Industrialists, Philanthropists, Cultural Personalities - Architects". The themes reflect the overall contribution of the local Jewish community of Bucharest to the modernisation and development of Romania.
The National Heritage Institute is running throughout November the project "Forgotten Neighbourhoods in Bucharest - The Jewish Quarter," co-financed by AFCN, together with its partners, the Institute for Advanced Studies for Levant Culture and Civilisation and the Matei Basarab National Collegiate High School.
The project is designed to contribute to the knowledge and promotion of the material heritage of the Jewish community, young people and the general public. It envisages the research and organisation of a documentary and multimedia fund and a digital archive dedicated to the Jewish heritage, which will complete with new information and data the history and evolution of the built heritage and the constitution of the Jewish quarter in Bucharest.
The project also includes a brief history of historical monuments and buildings with historical value, as well as the design of micro-biographies of personalities of Jewish origins who contributed to the modernisation and economic development of Romania, in general, and of Bucharest, in particular.
