Gheorghe Tattarescu Museum

The Gheorghe Tattarescu Museum is an art museum housed in a well-preserved 19th-century residence in central Bucharest. The building is designed like a traditional Romanian inn and displays paintings, prints, and personal belongings of the painter.

The painter purchased the building in 1855 and lived there before it became a museum in 1953 following a donation from his niece. The conversion preserved the residence as an important record of 19th-century Bucharest.

Tattarescu was a painter who decorated churches across Romania and shaped how religious spaces looked in his time. His works show how art once connected faith and daily life together.

The museum sits on Domnita Anastasia Street in the center and is easy to reach on foot. It functions as the official art gallery for Bucharest's city administration, so visitors should expect standard operating hours.

The building is the only surviving private residence in Bucharest designed to look like a traditional Romanian inn. This unusual architectural choice makes it a rare reminder of an old building style that once existed in the city.
