To a certain extent, the collection has not been arranged in a suitable manner - going more by individual collection rather than artist or period - but there are a few treats for the viewer. The amount of Romanian artists (though none that are really known abroad, such as Brancusi) is obviously high, but there's not too many international artists on show. Some of the original collections were tragically (and stupidly) destroyed or seriously damaged during the 1989 revolution, which explains the lack of certain pieces. Admission 30,000 lei, students 10,000 lei.
