National Museum of History

          The National Museum of History, housed in the former Bucharest's main post office, presents a collection of artifacts and jewelry that date from prehistoric to modern times. Opened in 1972, due to the effort made by university professors and researchers, the museum grew constantly through donations, new acquisitions and archeological discovers. The museum's exhibitions are spread over 8,000 sqm in 60 display rooms. The finest exhibit is the replica of Trajan's Column in the central lapidarium.
