We invite you to enter one of the important heritage buildings of Bucharest, the Ion Mincu memorial house, where the architect lived and worked and where you will discover, dispalyed against the beautifull interiors restored in an exemplary manner, another dimension of heritage : Rosia Montana seen through the lens of the photo artist.

The photographs displayed in this exhibition have been captured during a workshop staged in Rosia Montana in June - August 2012, with tha participation of photographers Stefan Angelescu, Catalin Chiriloi, Edmond Kreibik, Johannes Kruse, Manfred Mehrer, Radu Salcudean, Calin Suteu and Daniel Vrabioiu.

The exhibition was first presented in Rosia Montana during the FanFest/HayFestival, in August, and later, in September, it was on display in Cluj, at the Tailors' Bastion. After Bucharest, it will be itinerated to Vienna, Austria and then to other locations in or outside Romania.

Visiting hours: 9-14 October, 10.00 - 17.00, Sunday 10.00 - 14.00.
