National Museum of Art of Romania

The National Museum of Art of Romania (Muzeul National de Arta al României), located in the former Royal Palace, is the country's leading art museum and home to the world's most comprehensive collection of Romanian art, including medieval and modern art. The museum, which opened in 1948, also houses the Royal Collection, which includes Romanian and European art dating back to the 15th century. The various halls house over 100,000 works, including paintings by the country's most celebrated artists, Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, and Gheorghe Tattarescu.

Sculptures by Milita Petrascu and Dimitrie Paciurea are included in the modern Romanian collection. One room is dedicated to Constantin Brancusi, one of the twentieth century's most influential sculptors. The European Gallery, which is right next door, has 15 rooms with works by El Greco, Monet, Rembrandt, Renoir, and Rubens.
