Little Paris (Micul Paris) brought together painting, graphics, photography and decorative art dedicated to interwar Bucharest. It was organised by the Bucharest Visual Artists Association (AAPB) at the National Museum of Romanian Literature. I served on the jury.

About the Little Paris exhibition

The exhibition ran from 23 June to 3 July 2026 at the headquarters of the National Museum of Romanian Literature, on Calea Griviței 64-66 in Bucharest. The opening took place on Thursday, 25 June, at 17:30. The project was coordinated by Irina Forgo, vice-president of the AAPB.

The theme was the Bucharest of the interwar years, when the city was called Little Paris. Several works on show focus on its historic buildings, from eclectic palaces to the neo-Romanian style. For Irina Forgo, Little Paris was a state of mind more than a nickname.

The same association organised the National Visual Arts Salon 2026 at the Palace of the Parliament, where I was also a jury member.
