The Art Collections Museum

The Museum of Art Collections, Museul Colectilor Arta in Romanian, is on the Victory Street, about a ten minute walk from the Victory Square metro stop. Besides the museum, the beautiful Romanit Palace is also interesting - a construction that began in the early nineteenth century, and was expanded and finished in 1840. It was built by a Greek millionaire named Grigore Romani, and is one of the most luxurious buildings on the street - which is quite a challenge, because the richest Romanian families all had beautiful mansions here. The Romanit Palace had a fine reputation in Romanian high society, known for the splendour of its dances and receptions.
