The 500 pieces on display reflect a deep interest in interwar and contemporary Romanian painting, sculpture and graphics. His love for Romanian folk art is reflected in the authentic objects illustrating the diversity of decorative motifs. This passion has materialized in a remarkable ethnographic collection, complemented by works from multiple fields of fine arts.   <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10953\" style=\"width: 1310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10953\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10953\" src=\"https:\/\/curatorial.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Muzeul-Vasile-Grigore-curatorial.ro_.jpg\" alt=\"vasile grigore museum, curatorial.ro\" width=\"1300\" height=\"910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curatorial.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Muzeul-Vasile-Grigore-curatorial.ro_.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/curatorial.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Muzeul-Vasile-Grigore-curatorial.ro_-514x360.jpg 514w, https:\/\/curatorial.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Muzeul-Vasile-Grigore-curatorial.ro_-1044x731.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/curatorial.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Muzeul-Vasile-Grigore-curatorial.ro_-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10953\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vasile Grigore Art Museum, curatorial.ro<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Vasile_Grigore_Art_Museum\"><\/span>Contact Vasile Grigore Art Museum<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Schedule: Monday &#8211; Friday &#8211; 10:30 &#8211; 16:30; Saturday &#8211; Sunday &#8211; by appointment only Address: 29 Maria Rosetti Str., sector 2, Bucharest Location: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ro\/maps\/place\/Muzeul+de+Art%C4%83+%22Vasile+Grigore%22\/@44.4422921,26.1081131,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x40b1ff49f17ee9d9:0x43e63e5ae8a63be9!8m2!3d44.4422921!4d26.1081131!16s%2Fg%2F1pwgtj1y0?entry=ttu&amp;g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTExMy4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D\">Vasile Grigore Art Museum<\/a> Phone: 021.211.5409 Visiting the art museums in Bucharest is an exciting experience, full of emotion, color and stories.
