I was expecting more for the price you have to pay to get in here. The ordinary art work (hung in the rooms) is in places poorly lit and hard to see. The premium collection has a few nice pieces but the two outstanding pieces for me were the Turk Pasha in one of the back rooms and a cubist... More

My wife and I enjoyed our visit to the Brukenthal art museum, with its multiple rooms of paintings on two floors by German, Austrian, Flemish and Dutch artists. The Brukenthal has a moderate amount of artwork on display, not so much that you feel overwhelmed or are exhausted after walking miles of corridors.

We found the Museum of Pharmacy most interesting. We were especially intrigued to learn the Homeopathy originated in 1796 by a German named Samuel Hahnemann. It was interesting to note that some of the equipment to make some medicinal blends, e.g. mortar and pestle, have remained essentially unchanged in 200 years. Time constraints prevented us from visiting other parts of... More

It IS a very good museum. On a visit this August, as advertised, a selection of the most important works had gone on loan to another European country. This DID, inevitably weaken the impact of the collection- especially as these paintings had been replaced with very poor quality photocopies, but were still roped off! Nevertheless, there was enough remaining to... More

We just popped in here to see the collection of Romanian art. I'm so glad we did - Robert Wellman's wonderful painting of a young woman being dressed for her wedding was worth the visit alone. The collection is only a few rooms, but carefully chosen. Great treat.

This place is definetly worth visiting; however, I was disappointed of the poor lighting conditions: for some paintings you simply couldn't find an angle where the light didn't bounce off the oily surface in a way that wasn't annoying. This aside, the walls could use some cleaning, but no one's here for the walls, no?

If you want to feel like in little National Galery in London but without lot of people, come here and watch. I promise you very good experiences.

As a local I went a lot of times to the Brukenthal museum. In a palace build by the Baron Samuel from Brukenthal you can see paintings from Flemish, Italian, Austrian and German masters, which are along the masterpieces of European art. The highlight is the palace itself, having also an interior courtyard decorated in baroque style. Through this courtyard... More
