About the Exhibition

Of exemplary fairness, very demanding of himself, King Carol I of Romania led an almost austere life. He was an introvert by nature, rarely revealing his thoughts and plans to anyone, having no close friends, only advisors. It is interesting that in his personal life the king behaved naturally, as a man with passions as a collector, sensitive to art and the beauties of nature, with unsophisticated culinary preferences and offering hospitality to personalities invited to PeleÅŸ Castle.

The temporary exhibition Art and Ceremonial at Royal Tables introduces us to the daily life of the royal families of Romania from 1866-1930, Carol I and Elisabeta, Ferdinand and Maria, from PeleÅŸ Castle, PeliÅŸor Castle and the Royal Palaces in Bucharest. We will discover the porcelain collections, silver cutlery, crystal glasses intended for the Court tables, the daily program and menu with favorite dishes. We will also get acquainted with the distinguished guests invited to the official lunches and dance evenings.
