The Brukenthal Palace

The Brukenthal Palace is one of the most remarkable monuments in late baroque style in Romania. It was erected between 1778-1788 as an official residence Samuel von Brukenthal and as a shelter for his collections.

The Baroque halls -the old reception and music rooms of the Palace - on the first floor preserve the original canvas and silk wall, the Rococo and Neo-classical white stoves and 18th century Transylvanian furniture.

The European painting collection of the Baron Samuel von Brukenthal includes a number of about 1,200 works belonging to the main European painting schools of the 15th up to the 18th century: Flemish-Dutch, German and Austrian, Italian, Spanish and French. The present exhibit offers visitors the possibility to compare the main artistic movements and styles from the Renaissance to the Rococo.
