Palace of Culture, Cultural venue in Arad, Romania.
The Palace of Culture stands on a prominent corner, featuring a grand pediment supported by Corinthian columns and lateral wings with polygonal towers.
Constructed between 1911 and 1913 under architect Lajos Szántay's direction, the building emerged from the vision of the Kölcsey Cultural Association of Arad.
The palace houses the Arad Museum Complex with over 125,000 items, including archaeological relics, ethnographical items, and European paintings from the 17th century.
The multi-purpose hall serves as headquarters for the Philharmonics of Arad and maintains regular exhibition schedules in its art galleries and museum spaces.
The interior presents a Secession-style hallway adorned with Moneasa marble and a concert hall with stained glass windows depicting the solar system.
