The National University for Physical Education and Sports was created in Romania in the 1920s.
It was a good institution, I suppose, as long as Romania won 309 medals at the Summer Olympics (of which 90 gold).

At the entrance to the building, on January 28, 2021 I noticed a special fresco that I am now trying to interpret.
I think the fresco represents the constellated Pegasus and the constellated master Perseus above, from Greek mythology, and Calul Nazdravan (Magic Horse) and the master Fat Frumos (Beautiful Boy) below (the horse accustomed to take its master to the Moon, the Sun and the stars), from Romanian mythology.

That day I also noticed
how the sky itself
rewarded that fresco with
a gold medal with a halo.
