Muzeul Zambaccian

The Zambaccian Museum in Bucharest is one of the most refined art collections in the capital, housed in the home that belonged to the Armenian collector Krikor Zambaccian, an ardent art lover who devoted his life and fortune to gathering valuable works. Opened to the public in 1947, when the collector donated his house and paintings to the state, the museum brings together works by the great Romanian masters, from Nicolae Grigorescu, Ștefan Luchian and Theodor Pallady to Nicolae Tonitza and Gheorghe Petrașcu, alongside a section of universal painting with prestigious names such as Cézanne, Delacroix, Matisse, Pissarro and Renoir.

The intimate atmosphere of a house-museum, with the paintings arranged as in an elegant home, offers a truly distinctive experience, bringing the visitor close to the taste and passion of a great collector. Practical note: check the visiting hours and combine the stop with the other house-museums in Bucharest's quiet residential area.
