The symposium "Culture and Society in the Time of the Monarchy", organised by the National Museum of Art of Romania, will take place on Saturday, 22 November, from 09:30 to 16:30, at the Royal Palace, this year's edition being dedicated to the personality and reign of King Carol II.
Following tradition, the event will be held under the auspices of the Romanian Royal Family and coordinated by Dr Carmen Tanasoiu, curator in the Section of Old Romanian Art and Vice-President of the National Commission of Museums and Collections, MNAR reported on Monday in a press release sent to Agerpres.
Researchers and specialists from museums, archives, and national libraries are invited to give lectures at the symposium, which will take place in the Royal Sitting Room of MNAR. Speakers include Emanuel Petac, Narcis Dorin Ion, Serban Pavelescu, Cristina Paiusan, Tudor Visan Miu, Marius Cornea, and Mirela Tirna.
"All the papers presented are aimed at museum specialists, researchers, students, collectors, media content creators, and, in general, anyone interested in the history of the Monarchy period in Romania and its implications. Important and niche topics will continue to be addressed in the fields of history, heraldry, numismatics, the arts, literature, photography and film, architecture, memoirs, and archival sources," MNAR stated.
Access is free, limited to 100 participants, and the event will be broadcast live on the ZOOM platform.
The first three editions of the symposium brought together 33 speakers, including nine students, all focused on studying the complex sources related to the Kingdom of Romania and the royal family.
The extensive programme promoting research on the modern Romanian Monarchy began in 2022, based on the fact that the National Museum of Art of Romania holds an architectural heritage defining the Monarchy, as well as a valuable gallery of royal portraits.
Part of the museum's collection also comes from the collections gathered by the kings and queens of Romania over the years, preserved under the protection and patronage of the Crown.
