Good to see you understand Romanian, because I have a gift for you in regards to your nostalgic wish on Trajan's Column. The museum you saw it in is actually part of "crème de la crème”: Muzeul National de Istorie Bucuresti (The National History Museum of Bucharest, like no one can understand that ) and I have the perfect link for you if you have lots of patience: the museum has documented every sequel of the column on their website in serial imagery.
Fair warning: their server is pretty slow due to traffic.
As for your information the copy that is in the museum now has been executed in 1938 by Italian artists contracted by Romanian government at the time ... sweet Monarchy times, boy, wish that was still the case... not bad though still right now, the country is exploding with a passionate frenzy rediscovering its colorful and interesting history... Old castles and fortresses have never seem more restoration mobilized... Anyhow, back to your link:

Just click on the little numbers...
