Nicolae Grigorescu Memorial Museum - Campina - Banesti
Also located in Campina, the Nicolae Grigorescu Memorial Museum was set up in the house where the painter lived the last part of his life and was made available to the general public in 1957. Grigorescu, the soul painter of the Romanians, chose this city for the air or patriarchal and especially for the surroundings of incomparable beauty, which were otherwise a source of permanent inspiration. The museum hosts in the master's workshop numerous paintings and sketches from all periods of his creation (Barbizon, War of Independence, White Period). About 100 paintings are presented here in an authentic original setting, evoking the atmosphere of the beginning of the century.
