The Romanian Academy with the help of AICC (Association of Contemporary Identity and Culture) organized the exhibition "Trajan’s Column in contemporary art", between the 25th of October and the 4th of December at "Casa Academiei" in Bucharest. The exhibition, which has reunited works of plastic art inspired by Romania’s antique history, was prepared in collaboration with Romanian Academy, the Institute of Archeology "Vasile Pârvan" and the University of Plastic Arts.
