This tour takes you to three small representative museums for Romanian arts and artists. I have not selected the museums and visits sequence randomly. They represent landmarks for the evolution of the local art. Moreover, the buildings were actually the homes of famous artists or art lovers, and each place was transformed into a museum following various events and social/political movements.

The first one is the former house of the founder of the Romanian Belle Arts School, who was not only a painter, sculptor and designer, but also a fervent politician involved in the flamboyant political scene of the second half of the 19^th century.

The second museum is the former house of a family of German origin whose all members were top artists. Father came to Romania at mid-19^th century and became the first sculpture professor at the school founded by the artist whose house we visit first. He had two sons, both sculptors, and one of them was married to a painter, the very first female professor at an art university in Europe. She was also a dedicated activist for the women’s rights.
