Cotroceni National Museum

Cotroceni is the only residence all over the Romanian land which has been continuously inhabited since the late 17th century to our days. Consequently, in 1991, in the old wing of the Palace, the Cotroceni National Museum was opened to the public. Ten years later, the Museum was placed under the authority of the Presidential Administration.
The Museum operates inside the Cotroceni Palace, a historical monument representative of the late 19th century's Romanian architecture, that remarkably embodied part of the architectural features of the monastery established by Şerban Cantacuzino, Prince of Wallachia, in the late 17th century.
Its uniqueness is granted by the interfusion of a 350 year history memorial site, with that of an art museum.
