Nicolae Grigorescu Memorial Museum

The house that hosts the museum was originally built in 1901–1904 for painter Nicolae Grigorescu, his wife and son.

He designed the building himself in the local style: eight rooms on two floors, balconies on three sides and a shingle roof.

Exhibits were purchased from the family or from private individuals to whom the descendants had sold them.

The house features books from his personal library, Oriental objects that he collected and a large 18th-century French tapestry.

[1] The house is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs, as is the 1957 bust of the artist.
