Union Museum, Iasi
The Muzeul Unirii (Museum of Unification) is housed in a small, neoclassical palace built in the early 19th century. Between 1859 and 1862, it served as the royal residence of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, ruling prince who united the Romanian Principalities into a single state in 1859. Later on, during World War I, in 1917-1918, the palace also accommodated King Ferdinand during his retreat from Bucharest. The actual museum opened in 1959 marking the centenary of the Romanian state. The museum collection includes historic documents and original artifacts of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza and his family.
