CONTEMPORARY ART

The Contemporary Art Gallery of the National Brukenthal Museum is housed by a building of architectural and historical significance; dated in 1901, the building accommodated varied cultural institutions, today re-defining step-by-step as a section entirely dedicated to contemporary art.

The Contemporary Art Gallery of the National Brukenthal Museum holds an important position in the area of promotional activities of contemporary Romanian art, representing a strong alternative to the unique trend set up by the National Contemporary Art Museum in Bucharest, being public oriented and envisaging a highly free and innovative selection of works.

Over the last years, in this gallery exhibited the whole Romanian contemporary artistic scene; the Romanian and foreign curators enjoyed the opportunity of freely discussing their projects, their debates conferring a certain consistency to the space on Tribunei Street, resulting in its consecration as mark of the conceptual map that describes the contemporary Romanian artistic domain.
