The Romanian Athenaeum is a concert hall in the center of Bucharest, Romania and a landmark of the Romanian capital city.

In 1865, cultural and scientific personalities such as Constantin Esarcu, V. A. Urechia, and Nicolae Creţulescu founded the Romanian Atheneum Cultural Society. To serve its purposes, the Romanian Athenaeum, a building dedicated to art and science, would be erected in Bucharest.

The building was designed by the French architect Albert Galleron, built on a property that had belonged to the Văcărescu family and inaugurated in 1888, although work continued until 1897. A portion of the construction funds was raised by public subscription in a 28-year-long effort, of which the slogan is still remembered today: "Donate one leu for the Ateneu!"

In 1990, the building became the seat of the Senate and since 2006 it houses the Ministry of Interior and Administrative Reform.

Stop At: Muzeul National de Istorie a Romaniei, Calea Victoriei 12 Sector 3, Bucharest 030026 Romania

Only Outside.
The Post Palace is one of the most monumental buildings in Bucharest. Far from being a fancily decorated structure, the palace strikes by its size and architectural soberness. Its tourist worth derives from its historical background and from the fact the palace has been hosting the National Museum of Romanian History since 1972.

The National Museum of Romanian History is one of the most valuable museums in Bucharest, and a must visit for all tourists (foreigners and nationals alike) who want to make a direct experience of the history of the Romanian people. However, the museological patrimony aside, the Post Palace is in itself a tourist sight worth searching out.

It was built between 1894 and 1900 by the design of Alexandru Săvulescu, in order to serve as headquarters of the Romanian Post, which it deed, until 1972.
