About This Museum

You know how most national art museums stick to one region? Well, this one is a fascinating mash-up. It's got everything from medieval Romanian icons that feel ancient and spiritual to bold, modern European paintings. Then you turn a corner and find yourself in a room of delicate Islamic metalwork or serene East Asian scrolls—it’s a truly global tour all under one gorgeous roof.

Collection Highlights

Don't miss the hauntingly beautiful 'Kiss' by Constantin Brancusi, which feels both ancient and totally modern. The collection of Romanian medieval art is stunning, with its gold-leafed religious panels, and then there's the unexpected delight of seeing European masters like El Greco and Rembrandt right alongside them.

Visitor Information

It's on this grand, historic boulevard, Calea Victoriei, so it's easy to find. Give yourself a good couple of hours because the layout takes you on a real journey through time and place.

Architecture & Building

The building itself is a palace—literally the former Royal Palace—so it’s all soaring ceilings, grand staircases, and opulent details that make you feel like you're walking through history even before you look at a single painting.
