Bucharest

Bucharest – National Museum of Art (Targoviste Church Doors)

As further evidence that I need to get out more, I find these kind of exhibits rather meaningful. The thought of the congregation walking through these doors gives them a real sense of history.

These doors are from the Metropolitan Church of Targoviste, which was demolished in the late nineteenth century and replaced with a new building. These wooden doors date from the seventeenth century and are in a good state of repair.

Targovista is incidentally the city where Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife were executed on 25 December 1989.
