Early 20th century De două decenii, Pelişorul justifică pe deplin speranţele publicului şi încrederea pe care amatorii de artă i-au acordat-o: aici s-au organizat expoziţii temporare, un parteneriat cultural expoziţional cu Muzeul de Artă din Liège - Belgia, manifestări ştiinţifice care au îmbogăţit prin valoarea lor datele istorice despre perechea regală Ferdinand şi Maria şi au valorificat colecţia de artă, subliniind astfel menirea muzeului. Douăzeci de ani reprezintă doar un început, adevărat foarte promiţător, concludent însă pentru un muzeu care s-a creat şi s-a afirmat, dovedindu-şi din plin rolul său în educarea şi renaşterea spirituală a vizitatorilor. Cu prilejul acestei aniversări, Muzeul Naţional Peleş organizează expoziţia “Art Nouveau - 110 ani în România”, o sărbătoare a acestui curent artistic. Expoziţia îşi propune să reunească cele mai reprezentative piese ce se înscriu în stilistica Art Nouveau, prezente în colecţiile muzeului, multe dintre ele fiind ilustrative pentru gustul artistic al reginei Maria. Ideile acesteia privind decoraţia de interior au fost puse în operă de Karel Liman, un arhitect puţin cunoscut în România, dar care este creatorul unuia dintre cele mai importante ansambluri monumentale din ţară, reşedinţa regală de la Sinaia. Stilul Art Nouveau a definit deopotrivă sfârşitul şi începutul unui secol, conferind personalitate unei epoci şi cuprinzând toate genurile artistice legate de ambientul exterior sau interior. 10 Daphné, detaliu Isidore de Rudder, circa 1900 Daphné, detail Isidore de Rudder, Early 20th century Museum managed to reconstitute a princely proved its role in the education and the and royal space by taking into account the spritual revival of its visitors. photographic archive documents and, as far as possible, the initial inventory and In order to celebrate this occasion, Peles thus, they returned a residence of historical National Museum organizes the exhibition importance to the national cultural heritage. “Art Nouveau – 110 Years in Romania“, a In this way, the Romanian museal space celebration of this artistic movement. was enriched with a monument of art which is unique in Romania due to its interiors, The exhibition sets to bring together the most decorated in Queen Marie’s specific style. representative pieces of Art Nouveau, which The museum was inaugurated in February are part of the collections of the museum, 1993. many of them being illustrative for Queen Marie’s taste.

  • Romania Redivivus
    alexander clapp ROMANIA REDIVIVUS nce the badlands of neoliberal Europe, Romania has become its bustling frontier. A post-communist mafia state that was cast to the bottom of the European heap by opinion- makers sixteen years ago is now billed as the success story Oof eu expansion.1 Its growth rate at nearly 6 per cent is the highest on the continent, albeit boosted by fiscal largesse.2 In Bucharest more politicians have been put in jail for corruption over the past decade than have been convicted in the rest of Eastern Europe put together. Romania causes Brussels and Berlin almost none of the headaches inflicted by the Visegrád Group—Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia— which in 1993 declined to accept Romania as a peer and collectively entered the European Union three years before it. Romanians con- sistently rank among the most Europhile people in the Union.3 An anti-eu party has never appeared on a Romanian ballot, much less in the parliament. Scattered political appeals to unsavoury interwar traditions—Legionnairism, Greater Romanianism—attract fewer voters than do far-right movements across most of Western Europe. The two million Magyars of Transylvania, one of Europe’s largest minorities, have become a model for inter-ethnic relations after a time when the park benches of Cluj were gilded in the Romanian tricolore to remind every- one where they were. Indeed, perhaps the aptest symbol of Romania’s place in Europe today is the man who sits in the Presidential Palace of Cotroceni in Bucharest. Klaus Iohannis—a former physics teacher at a high school in Sibiu, once Hermannstadt—is an ethnic German head- ing a state that, a generation ago, was shipping hundreds of thousands of its ‘Saxons’ ‘back’ to Bonn at 4,000–10,000 Deutschmarks a head.

  • Furnizorii Palatului Cotroceni- (1895 - 1930)
    FURNIZORII PALATULUI COTROCENI- (1895 - 1930) Ștefania DINU Abstract: The suppliers of the Cotroceni Palace and of the princely, then royal family Ferdinand and Maria were both those who held the Royal Court supplier's certificate obtained since the reign of King Carol I, and suppliers who did not own (or who had not applied for the Royal Court's supplier patent), but who, by delivering good quality goods, became its consistent and constant suppliers. If sometimes it had a slightly charitable aspect, the title of supplier of the Royal Court sought to promote some specialists who presented social, professional and moral guarantees, being, in fact, an official recognition of their merits. Through this title, the royalty encouraged crafts, production, services, its possession being a good example to follow. The granting of the patents of royal suppliers took place after the proclamation of Romania as a Kingdom and of Prince Carol of Hohenzollern as King, under the name of Carol I of Romania, when the princely suppliers existing until that moment, became royal suppliers. The supplier's patent of the Royal Court, according to the regulations regarding the granting of this title, from 1893, 1901, 1907, 1914 and 1920 shows that it "can be conferred on craftsmen, industrialists and merchants who, through ability and morality and a reputation in their specialty ". The patent for "supplier of the Royal House" was personal and non-transferable and was handed over without discrimination of race and religion, both to Romanians and foreigners. Once granted, the patent gave the right to place the royal insignia next to the firm and could be withdrawn if the holder no longer fulfilled a series of conditions required by the regulations regarding the granting of this title.

A Documentary Visit to Cotroceni Museum Emanuela Florea-Paraipan "Carol I" Central University Library Biblioteca de Ştiinţe Politice E-mail: [email protected] Emanuela Florea-Paraipan works as librarian at "Carol I" Central University Library, The Political Science Branch Library. She is specialized in History and the present research fields are librarianship, museology, archeology and Jewish studies. Abstract In this essay we aim to emphasize the role of documentary visits in continuous training programs of library professionals. As alternative form of continuous training, the "Carol I" Central University Library runs an annual program of documentary visits to Bucharest museums, in order to identify from the historical, biographical, literary, artistic and scientific perspective, the manner in which evolved Romanian spirituality nationally and beyond. As a form of initial training for national inheritance understanding, the professional visits to cultural institutions allows the discovery of the categories of collections, the structure and their pedagogical value in learning, teaching and training. Keywords: continuous training, librarians, documentation, documentary visit Introduction We do not think there is a Romanian nowadays who has not heard of Cotroceni Palace.

As the UN Biodiversity Council made clear in May 2019 (when publishing the „Global Assessment Report“), we are facing a serious and combined clmate heating and biodiversity destruction crisis, which is interlinked and fueling each other. Climate crisis has arrived also in Europe’s forests. Unnatural forests in Europe are increasingly breaking down due to heat, drought and insect calamities, leaving large areas of bare land without protection from heat, floods or erosion. Biodiverse natural (old-growth and primary) forests with an undisturbed canopy cover show a much higher degree of resilience against climate crisis born disturbances such as drought, heat, wind fells, insect attacks or wild fires. They provide essential ecosystem services and they are an irreplaceable haven for rare and threatened biodiversity. Facing the progressing collapse of Europe’s unnatural plantations, natural forests potentially could become the only intact forests landscapes left in the emerging climate crisis.
