About This Museum

Tucked away on a corner of Traian Square, this gallery feels like a well-kept secret dedicated to one of Brăila's own, the surrealist poet and artist Gheorghe Naum. Stepping inside is like entering a different world, one where logic takes a backseat to dreamlike imagery and playful text. The walls are filled with his fantastical drawings and paintings, each one feeling like a window into his unique imagination. It’s surprisingly intimate and quiet, making you feel like you're getting a private look into an artist's mind.

Collection Highlights

You'll find incredible ink drawings that swirl across the page, often paired with his own cryptic poetry. Look for his collages that mix old engravings with unexpected elements—they're bizarre and brilliant. Don't miss the personal artifacts, like his manuscripts and letters, which make his creative process feel incredibly immediate.

Visitor Information

Architecture & Building

Housed in a beautiful, classic Brăila townhouse with that distinct 19th-century Romanian character—think high ceilings, creaky wood floors, and tall windows that flood the rooms with soft light.
