 Theodor Pallady Museum houses the collection of Serafina and  Gheorghe Răut. It contains a substantial nucleus of canvases  signed by Theodor Pallady, as well as over 800 drawings and  engravings from his Parisian period. These were donated by the  Răut couple to the Romanian state in the late '60s, along with their  own art collection, which includes paintings from the French, Dutch,  English, and Spanish schools of the 16th-19th centuries, small  ancient and Renaissance sculptures, textiles, furniture pieces,  oriental ceramics, and other decorative art objects. The entire  ensemble is representative of how Romanian intellectuals during  the interwar period emulated the collecting pursuits of collectors worldwide.

The building that houses the museum, also known as Casa Melik, was constructed in the second half of the 18th century. It is one of  the oldest and most beautiful merchant houses in Bucharest and  the only one open to the public. The house is named after its most important owner, Iacob Melik, a supporter of the revolutionary  actions of 1848 and author of the work "L'Orient devant L'Occident." He was responsible for renovating the house in the second half of  the 19th century and preserving traditional elements such as the  balcony on the upper floor, the interior wooden staircase, and the  wide eave roof.
