About Bucharest
[Boo`koo`reshtie]

Bucharest is the capital city and industrial and commercial centre of Romania. It is located in the southeast of the country and lies on the banks of the Dambovita River. It was originally known as Dambovita citadel. In the period between the two World Wars, the city's elegant architecture and the sophistication of its elite earned Bucharest the nickname of the "Paris of the East" or "Little Paris".

National Art Museum of Romania, ex-Regal Palace, is a sumptuous building located in Bucharest's Downtown, on Calea Victoriei. The palace has been designed by architect N. Nenciulescu and it has been finalized in 1937. The U-shaped building has an interior garden. The front side has two entrances, the King and his guests used to enter through the left one. During the Romanian Revolution back in 1989, the National Art Museum has been under fire.
