Theodor Pallady Museum, House museum on Spătarului Street, Bucharest, Romania.
The Theodor Pallady Museum occupies one of Bucharest's oldest merchant houses and displays hundreds of drawings and paintings alongside decorative arts. The building contains multiple galleries showing works from different periods and artistic traditions.
The house was built in the second half of the 18th century and belonged to merchant Iacob Melik, who supported reform movements. Later it became home to Pallady's collection during the 20th century.
The collection reflects how artists and collectors of Pallady's era valued European works and decorative objects from across the continent. The rooms show how such pieces were displayed and lived with in a home during the early 20th century.
The museum is located on Spătarului Street in central Bucharest and is open several days a week. Visitors should allow enough time to see all the gallery rooms and the displayed collection.
Much of the collection came from a close associate of Pallady who lived near him in Paris and later donated these works to the museum. This personal connection between two cities shaped how the collection was formed and preserved.
