LOCATION

The National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC) is Romania’s leading institution dedicated to contemporary visual art. Located in the E-wing of the Palace of Parliament, the museum offers a spectacular space with large exhibition halls, a panoramic rooftop terrace, and a café, becoming in recent years a major destination for lovers of urban culture. MNAC hosts a dynamic mix of temporary exhibitions and a permanent collection that reflects the evolution of Romanian art after 1945, including works by both established and emerging artists. It regularly organizes multidisciplinary events such as performances, film screenings, guided tours, and educational workshops. The museum acts as a living platform for dialogue between the public, art, and society. The rooftop offers one of the most stunning panoramic views of Bucharest. MNAC is not just a display space—it's a cultural laboratory open to experimentation and reflection.

How to get there: MNAC is located in the Palace of Parliament, 3–5 Calea 13 Septembrie, Sector 5. Access is through the entrance near the Marriott Hotel, and the closest public transport is bus 136, stop Piața Arsenalului.
