The Athenian excursions, the M. Musicescu Choir, the cinema, the theater hall have remained for the eternity in memory of the Tartars. The current Ateneu Tatares was built in 2003 near the place where the ancient Athenaeum, founded in 1919, immediately after the Great Union and inaugurated on April 25, 1920, functioned.
