In Patrimony, the installation now made for the Marble Hall of the MNAC, Raportoru refers to the specificity (of historical order of) the Museum. By using the same cocktail of vernacular and official, of painting plus installation, of standard solutions combined with improvisations, of noble materials with some decomposed ones, he builds a memorial dedicated to the place on which the Palace (of Ceaușescu or of the Parliament) was built abusively after the very neighborhood from which Bucharest was built was turned into rubble, a city that evolved from a Neolithic settlement to a 20th century capital, Balkan and modern in equal measure. MNAC illegally occupies this architectural symbol of political power, and Raportoru's installation illegally occupies the Museum, thus adding another link to the chain of events meant to keep alive the memory of a disaster on a historical, urban and human scale orchestrated by the Ceausist regime in the years 70 and '80.

The exhibition can be visited in the Marble Hall, located on the ground floor of the museum.
