About This Museum

People wander into our National Museum of Romanian History for all sorts of reasons, often just to get a sense of the place. What they find is the entire story, from ancient Dacian bracelets to the royal regalia that declared a modern nation. It’s not just a sequence of events in glass cases; it’s the physical weight of centuries you can stand right in front of. You leave feeling like you’ve traced the very spine of this country.

Collection Highlights

You absolutely must see the breathtaking replica of Trajan's Column, which lets you study its famous reliefs up close without craning your neck in Rome. Then there's the Romanian Treasury, a glittering trove of gold and precious objects that still takes my breath away, not to mention the delicate and ancient Geto-Dacian gold spirals.

Visitor Information

You'll find us right on Calea Victoriei, that grand old boulevard in the heart of the city. It's best to check their current hours online before you pop in, as they can change with the seasons.

Architecture & Building

Housed in the magnificent former Postal Services Palace, it's a grand, stately building from the late 19th century that perfectly suits its role as a keeper of national treasures.
