DEPARTMENTAL MUSEUM

The history section displays archaeological finds and old photos of the city and the region. The art section (strada Carol I, 25), which is very close by, occupies a superb mansion, mixing neo-Romanian style with Gothic, Romanesque and Renaissance elements. Some of Grigorescu's works can be seen there. Finally, the museum has an open-air section in the village of Bujoreni, 5 km to the north, where old village houses typical of the region are on display. There is a school, a church dating from 1785 and other furnished, decorated, almost living buildings.
