There are 26 commemorative sites presented, of which 9 are public art monuments inscribed in the Historical Monuments List, and for other 6 sites classification documents are being drafted by the Ilfov County Culture Department, with the support of specialist from the National Institute of Heritage.
Also, a special section (two panels) is dedicated to the Aviator Prince George Valentin Bibescu, (1880-1941), an aviation pioneer and founder of the Romanian Aviation Club in 1909 and of the National Air League in 1912, squadron commander during the First World War, and also a founder of the Băneasa airport in Bucureşti.
