National Museum of Romanian History

The National Museum of Romanian History (Romanian: Muzeul Naţional de Istorie a României) is a museum on Calea Victoriei in Bucharest, Romania, which contains Romanian historical artifacts from prehistoric times up to modern times.

The permanent displays include a plaster cast of the entirety of Trajan's Column, the Romanian Crown Jewels, and the Pietroasele treasure.

The museum is located inside the former Postal Services Palace, which also houses a philatelic museum. As of 2007^[update], the museum is under reconstruction; a late medieval archaeological site was discovered under the building.
