Guided Tours in the Bucharest City Center

Art History Association was founded in 2011 and the Publishing house was set up in 2013 - the founding members being an art historian, a historian and a high school principal. A graduate of the Faculty of Political Science University of Bucharest and currently a doctoral researcher in art history Oana Marinache serves as president of the association, while photographer and designer Cristian Gache is its Creative Director.

Our main goal is to develop non-formal cultural educational programs in the field of history and art history for the purpose of enhancing awareness of the cultural artistic values and the national and international heritage”. As of 2014, we also have a Printing House with four main collections: guided tour brochures, do-not-forget memoirs, unforgetable architects and architecture archive. Our Association and Publishing House are non-profit, funded from donations, sponsorships and research funds. Our main objective is to be able to cover or to lower the main costs of our activities (research, design and printing costs) thus offering the public a high-quality cultural product at an afordable price or even free of charge. In the past two years we offered the specialized guided tours „In the Footsteps of ...” wellknown Romanian architects for which we firstly conducted research in the archives and then developed step-by-step tours in the center of the city. Our main focus is the 19th century architecture up to the interwar modernist period. We propose to you a 1.5 hour – guided tour in the center of Bucharest covering the University Square and the Victory Avenue. Our meeting point is near the National Theater, in the public garden, on Sunday, 29th of June, at 12:00 and at 17:00. The tour will reach the former Royal Palace and the Romanian Athenaeum. Cost: 35 RON or 8 EUR / Tour. For further details and confirmation of participation: Art historian Oana Marinache [email protected]
