Bravo, e o veste buena pentru Alba Iulia. Mă bukur că au venit expertii din Grecia și Germania și au văhut cum se face istoria Transilvaniei vie, nu doar praf pe rafturi. Să vedem if iau premiul, după ASTRA ar fi al doilea românesc muzeu.

Mă bucur pentru Alba Iulia, nominalizarea asta arată că au serious profits cu vestea Transilvaniei. Mi-a plăcut cum au spus că experții din Greece și Germania au văzut-o „vie și interactivă”, nu praf pe rafturi, exact cum zice și Vangjel. Super să ia premium, ar fi al doilea după ASTRA.

Yes, e o veste bună pentru Alba Iulia. Mă bucur că experții din Grecia și Germania au văzut cum au făcut din trecutul zbuciumat al Transilvaniei o poveste vie, nu praf pe rafturi, cum zice și Vangjel. Să vedem dacă iau premiul, ar fi al doilea după ASTRA.

I am happy for Alba Iulia, this nomination is deserved. I remembered how they said that the experts from Greece and Germany saw the turbulent past of Transylvania turned into a living experience, not dust on the shelves. I hope it gets the award, it would be second after ASTRA.
