The album-book that bore the subtitle Dobrogea. 1878-1914, rigorously documented and published in excellent graphic conditions in 2015, evokes the history of this province integrated into the Old Kingdom after the victorious War of Independence, showing precisely the essential contribution of the Romanian monarchy to the development of these lands during the reign of King Carol I.
\nRoyalty and the sea: the title of a very interesting exhibition, inaugurated at the Pele\u0219 National Museum, in the hall of honor of Peli\u0219or Castle, on May 11, 2024. Here, then, are the strong historical foundations that determined a group of passionate collectors, gathered in the "Stella Maris" Association - which symbolically bears the name of the chapel that Queen Maria built in Balchik and in which she wanted to rest her heart -, to organize at the Peli\u0219or Castle in Sinaia, another "dream house" dear to the sovereign, the home in which she lived for almost a lifetime, an exhibition that would present to the public in the country and abroad testimonies of this special connection between the world by the sea and the Romanian Royal Family" - Dr. Narcis Dorin Ion, general director of the Pele\u0219 National Museum.
