About National Museum Of Art Of Romania

National Museum of Art of Romania is considered to be an architectural marvel. The museum features collections from the medieval to modern art and also showcases an international collection assembled by the Royal family. Witness the beautiful sculpture of Carol 1, the first King of Romania.
