| Today (09.05.2006) at 13:00 took place the opening of the exposition "Carol I and the Romanian army 1866-1914". Also this event precedes the Open Gates at MMN, this weekend (13-14.05.2006). This was the first exposition opening at which participated King Michael and Queen Ana; there participation brought lots of people at the opening, many more than at a normal opening. So here are some pictures, most of them are taken at the last rehearsal as I couldn't take good pictures because of the many people and TV crews. More will come in the next days.

| Ex king Mihai... I wonder,Duda is not around? He must have been promoted to the rank of general by now (the soviet model). |

| Yes, he’s not reigning anymore but undoubtedly he is the most distinguished and decent of the whole people present there. A real Royal presence. Prince Radu was also present, even if he’s not on that photo. The MoD granted him the permission to wear the uniform of (honorary) Colonel in the Romanian Army. He came in that uniform. I think he is a reserve officer as all students performed short term military service before 1989. |

| Kepi, I wonder if you really think what you just said... Not "on topic",but the day duda got into the royal fam,that day came the end to them. Good work from the psd. And you hear this from a person who a lot of people in his family were close to the palace and never had a single comunist party mamber in the family (so I won't be called dif. names). And btw,since when is duda a prince?he's a son of an comunist activist! And why he deserves so much credit?For spending the country money abroad? |

| C-2, in the USA, former presidents are still called 'Mr. President'. So let the King be a King. Gen. Dénes P.S. By the way, is that General's beard for real? |

Since princes are also made, not only born.  All the aristocrats were ennobled sometime in the past. Radu Duda is only a recent "addition to the ranks". |

You've said it! I agree... PS: Do I feel envy...?  |
| Posted by: C-2 May 10, 2006 05:45 pm |
| I agree! When you adress to the king,you call him " king". When you talk about him,or write about him,he's "ex king"! When you talk on tv about Bill Clinton,you'll never hear "president Clinton" but "former....":. |

....former Lewinski's friend  Anyway this discusion about Radu have nothing to do with Zilele Muzeului... |

| True,but every time there's a military eveniment,he's around. For someone who is a colonel and recieving this "honorific rank" after "studiing at the military college and his diploma was made by Benone Neagoe,it's shameful. |

| How was the militaria fair did it have good stuff and good prices. |

| Well it was nice.Very nice.The weather was exelent and the atmosfer great. I was there less then an hour but Me and my wife enjoyed it! I have bad news for Denes;the beard is real! And another bad news for him: Dragos is right behind you.His beard looks cool. I met Kepi and Sig for the first time and I was sorry Cristian was busy and I didn't wanted to disturb him. The museum looks well,maybee the best he ever looked. I was sorry to find that the medieval section (with the armours) was missing for an undefinit period . I practicaly grew in that section,in the old location of the museum. Every Sunday I was asking my mother to take me there.Everybody knew me (I was 4-5) and the section was often oppened only for me even when repairs were going on. Hope I'll me able to take my son in a year or two there ..... |

| It was very nice, i will post some pictures too. I also have several short movie clips. There were many interesting things for sale at the militaria fair but the prices were very high. I bought some old military books at a decent price. |

| Congratulations to the organisers of this year's edition of Military Museum's "Open Gates". It was a fine event, with great atmosphere. Well done ! |

| Dragos told me in private,that the beams were excelent.Not the regular stuff... |

I can confirm that, there were no rocks in them. I hadn't visited the museum since a long time, and I was pleasantly surprised. I spent a long time visiting all the exhibits, because last time I had been there, a lot of areas were closed to the public. As for "Zilele MMN", i think the organizers did a good job. BTW, I couldn't resist the temptation to try my skills at the shooting range, with the airgun, alltohough it was mostly for kids. I still didn't hit anything.  I have very poor eyesight.The militaria fair didn't impress me. Mostly old coins and old books. Very little actual militaria. |

| " Zilele MMN" shoul be held more often, in my opinion. From what I have seen saturday, people, regardless the age, do come and show interest (except for the free beans... ). |
