TheGeorge Enescu National University of Arts (Romanian:Universitatea Națională de Arte „George Enescu”) is a public university inIași,Romania, founded in 1860.[2] It was named in honor of the composerGeorge Enescu.
The institution was established on 1 October 1860, as theMusic and Declamation School, by decree of PrinceAlexandru Ioan Cuza, followed 26 days later, by the foundation of the School for Sculpture and Painting. In October 1864, Cuza approved the Charter for theMusic and Declamation Conservatory and the Charter for theNational Schools of Fine Arts (establishing the departments of painting, sculpture, gravure, architecture and the art of landscape architecture).[3]
In 1931, the Conservatory and the School of Fine Arts became theAcademy of Music and Dramatic Art of Iași, which soon adopted the name George Enescu, and theIași Academy of Fine Arts, respectively.[4]
AfterWorld War II, under thecommunist regime, the two academies were integrated as theGeorge Enescu Conservatory. Having reverted to the nameGeorge Enescu Academy of Art, the institution was regrouped, in 1992, to focus onvisual arts,theatre, andmusic. In 1997, its current name, George Enescu University of Arts, was adopted.[3]
