The collection was donated to the History Museum of the city of Bucharest as a result of the desire of the well known radiologist dr. George Severeanu before his premature death in 1939. The first donation was made by Maria Severeanu in 1939. The collection was completed in 1949 and opened for the public in 1956. It is one of the most precious collection of antiquities (11,000 pieces) including archaeological items: Archaeology (prehistoric, Greek, Roman); ancient, mediaeval, modern and contemporary numismatics, medals, coins; art; history and paintings by Anton Chladek, Theodor Aman, and Arthur Verona.
