Occupying a neo-baroque building dating from 1902, it boasts fine collections of national art (Tattarescu, Aman, Grigorescu, Mattis-Teutsch...), illustrating the evolution of Romanian art (painting and sculpture) in the ^19th and ^20th centuries. The permanent exhibition also features Transylvanian art from the ^16th to the ^20th centuries, as well as a series of ^18th-century portraits of the city's notables. The decorative arts section features fine porcelain from Europe and Asia. Temporary exhibitions are organized on a regular basis.
