  Bucharest - Cotroceni
The Cotroceni Palace is a part of the Cotroceni National Museum which is a specialized institution focused upon reflecting the history of the Medieval and Modern Cotroceni, upon the evolution and transformations that came up in time.
The Cotroceni palace, church and monastery reflect a three-century history that interweaves political, military, diplomatic, religious and cultural aspects, directly with the general evolution of Romanian society.
Among the most remarcable objects exhibited are the richly adorned tombstones, an expression of the admirable art of the stoneworkers and decorators, as well as carvings that prove the vigour of the Cantacuzinian and Brancovenian art and architecture.

Daca, în Muzeul National Cotroceni, un accent aparte s-a pus pe restaurarea interioarelor ramase intacte sau aproape intacte, probleme deosebite au ridicat acele încaperi radical modificate în timp, încercându-se pe cât posibil ca, prin solutiile arhitecturale adoptate, sa se pastreze ideea compozitionala initiala.
Whereas in the Cotroceni National Museum the restoration of intact and almost intact interiors was especially taken care of, bigger problems came from the rooms that radically changed in time, the restorers trying to find architectural solutions that should keep the initial compositional idea as much as possible.
Its distribution and positioning in the apartments – which differred, of course, from the initial arrangement – took into account particularly the solutions chosen for restoration, as the furniture was permanently chosen so as to match the interior in which it was placed.
