Art museum of Constanta, Art museum in Constanța, Romania
The Art Museum of Constanța occupies two connected buildings: a neoclassical structure from 1895 and a modern extension constructed between 1980 and 1982. The collection spans three floors and displays Romanian artworks from different artists and periods.
The museum grew from the painting and sculpture collection of the Constanța city hall's Pinacoteca. It was later enriched by works transferred from the National Art Museum and by acquisitions and donations from Marius Bunescu, Ion Jalea and Boris Caragea. Its first building dates from 1895 and is listed as historic monument CT-II-m-A-02852; a modern second building was added between 1980 and 1982.
The museum's name comes from the city's former Pinacoteca, whose painting and sculpture collection formed its founding core. The first-floor Pallady Hall holds 35 works by Theodor Pallady, including still lifes, nudes and sea-inspired landscapes painted at Constanța. The second floor is devoted to the "Group of Four" — Nicolae Tonitza, Ștefan Dimitrescu, Francisc Șirato and sculptor Oscar Han — active between 1924 and 1933.
The museum is at B-dul Tomis 82-84, and its two buildings are linked: the 1895 neoclassical house and the 1980-1982 modern block. The collection fills three floors, with the Pallady Hall on the first floor and the Group of Four on the second. Allow time to move between the two buildings.
The first floor holds a Pallady Hall with 35 works by Theodor Pallady, including still lifes, nudes and seaside landscapes painted at Constanța. The second floor is devoted to the Grupul celor 4 (Nicolae Tonitza, Ștefan Dimitrescu, Francisc Șirato and sculptor Oscar Han), active between 1924 and 1933.
