The K. H. Zambaccian Museum

Collector and art critic Krikor H. Zambaccian (1889-1962) assembled one of the richest and most valuable art collections in Romania. In the 1940s, Zambaccian built a house specifically to showcase the paintings, sculptures, graphics, and furniture he had acquired over half a century. Both the collection and the house were donated to the Romanian state in 1947, and Zambaccian was welcomed as a member of the Romanian Academy.

The Romanian artworks offer a condensed view of its historical development - from Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, and Ioan Andreescu - to the works of Ștefan Luchian, Nicolae Tonitza,  Theodor Pallady, Gheorghe Petrașcu, and continuing with Corneliu Baba, Alexandru Phoebus, and Horia Damian. Sculptures by  Brâncuși, Milița Petrașcu, Oscar Han, and Cornel Medrea complete this important panorama of Romanian art.

In addition, the museum features a series of paintings by renowned masters such as Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, Bonnard, Utrillo, Marquet, which are unique in Romania.

Under the theme "Pallady 150," the National Museum of Art of Romania organized four exhibitions dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of the painter Theodor Pallady (1871-1956), one of the most important Romanian artists. The exhibitions aim to present unique aspects of his work related to the artworks in the MNAR heritage

The exhibition "Zambaccian on Pallady" at the K.H. Zambaccian Museum aims to sketch a character portrait of Theodor Pallady  through excerpts from an article about the artist published by collector Krikor H. Zambaccian in the volume "Notes of an Art Lover”.

The curatorial approach involves juxtaposing the referenced paintings with a series of self-portraits created by Pallady in his mature years, always characterized by sharp lines and decisive tones, in harmony with the description of his character provided directly or indirectly by Zambaccian's text.

 

Address: 21A Muzeul Zambaccian Street.

Visiting hours: Wednesday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday-Sunday 11am-7pm, Monday and Tuesday closed. Free entry on the first Wednesday of the month.

Closed:  January 1st, January 2nd, January 24th, Easter holidays, the first and second day of Pentecost, May 1st, August 15th, November 30th, December 25th, December 26th.

K.H. Zambaccian Museum

Art collector and critic Krikor H. Zambaccian (1889-1962) put together one of the richest and most valuable private collections in Romania. In the 1940s Zambaccian had the house purpose built so as to enable him to display the paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings and furniture he had acquired over more than half a century. Both the collection and the house were donated by him to the Romanian State in 1947.
In celebration of his deed, Zambaccian was made a member of the Romanian Academy.
The collector’s portfolio of Romanian artists offers a brief but dense overview of modern Romanian art, covering representative paintings by founding figures like Theodor Aman, Nicolae Grigorescu, Ioan Andreescu, classical modernists like Ștefan Luchian, Nicolae Tonitza, Theodor Pallady and Gheorghe Petrașcu, and post-war figurative painters like Corneliu Baba, Alexandru Phoebus and Horia Damian. Sculptures by Brâncuși, Milița Petrașcu, Oscar Han and Cornel Medrea reflect Zambaccian’s preference for a more traditional vein of modernism. To create a context for Romanian art and enhance his prestige, Zambaccian also acquired works by Cézanne, Picasso, Matisse, Bonnard, Utrillo, and Marquet, which lend his collection a profile unmatched in Romania.
