The National Museum of Romanian Literature in collaboration with the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theatre invites you to the opening of the homage exhibition The Great Theatre 170, which will take place on Friday, November 11, 2022, at 4 pm at the NMRL headquarters in 64-66, Calea Griviței Street. The opening will be addressed by Adriana Popescu, Director of Communication and International Relations at the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theatre in Bucharest and Prof. Ioan Cristescu, PhD, Director of the National Museum of Romanian Literature.

The exhibition includes photographs, posters, program booklets, fine art and set elements that bring to the public's attention great personalities of the national theatre, memorable roles and performances that made history.

Among the exhibits are two extremely precious garments: a white sheepskin vest, with black astrahan borders, decorated with the royal insignia - the royal crown and the letter E - and floral ornaments, a vest that Queen Elizabeth had given to the actor Grigore Manolescu, for the part of Răzvan in the play "Razvan and Vidra" by B. P. Hasdeu, and a long red-pink brocade shirt worn by C.I. Nottara in "King Lear" in 1910. Both garments are part of the collections of the "I.L. Caragiale" National Theatre in Bucharest.

The exhibition can be visited from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10.00 to 18.00 at the National Museum of Romanian Literature, "Petru Creția" and "Al. Oprea", 64 - 66 Calea Griviței from 11 to 26 November 2022.
