1930s-1950s, collection of Romanian diplomat Basil Stoica (1889 - 1959), close to Thomas Masaryk and Ionel I. C. Brătianu, knowledgeable in 14 foreign languages, fighter for the founding and establishment of Greater Romania, president in 1918 of the National League of Romanians in America, plenipotentiary minister in Bulgaria and Albania (1930-1936), the Netherlands (1937-1939), secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (1939-1945), negotiator in 1946 for Romania's cause as a co-belligerent country at the Paris Peace Conference; died in Jilava after 9 years of detention; confiscated from the diplomat's family in 1977 by the National Museum of Art of Romania; in 2009, after the fall of the communist regime, following a lengthy series of legal processes, returned to the diplomat's heirs.
