Spring-Summer exhibition season at the Art Museum Brasov

Art Museum Brasov announces the exhibition program for the spring-summer season and invites the public to explore a diversity of artistic perspectives. Works from the institution’s heritage, which analyze post-war art or the symbolism of reading in art, and contemporary creations investigating the urban and rural memory of Transylvania are brought to the fore.

Until March 16, visitors to the museum can admire a selection of 18th century portraits of personalities from Brasov in the exhibition “The Saxon Patriciate. A page from the history of Brasov”, based on research by Dr. Radu Popica.
During the month of March, the condition of post-war artists is at the center of the exhibition “Adela Petrescu: geometry of a pictorial dream”, presented to the public with the support of the Ivan Gallery and the Roxandra and Ion Grigorescu family. The exhibition includes, for the first time, a movie directed by Maria Grigorescu about the life and personality of the artist Adela Petrescu (1927-2019).

Highlights of spring-summer season

“Reading in art: between reality and symbol”, curated by Alexandra Ilnițchi-Ardelean, opens on March 20, 2025. It explores representations of reading in art, from status symbol and education to a means of intellectual emancipation and ideological control. Works on display from the museum’s holdings offer a glimpse into the evolution of these symbols over time.

“Rewritten Topographies”, curated by Alina Șerban, opens on April 10, 2025. The exhibition brings together four photographers from Brasov – Lucian Bran, Mihai Plătică, Horațiu Șovăială and Mihai Șovăială – in an exploration of the urban landscape and collective memory through photography. The selection includes images from museum archives and personal collections, offering a unique perspective on the city.

A solo exhibition of contemporary artist Bogdan Mihai Radu, curated by Mihai Zgondoiu, opens on April 25, 2025. The Siberian artist, based in London, uses light and color in a bold and dramatic manner, and his landscapes suggest the influences of abstract expressionism and the art of John Constable.
