The Birth of a Public Collection – The Heritage and Presence of Transylvanian Art in the 21st Century
Step into the story of Transylvanian art!
In the heart of the Târgu Mureș Fortress, within walls that preserve centuries of history, colors come alive and stories are written on canvas.
“The Birth of a Public Collection – The Heritage and Presence of Transylvanian Art in the 21st Century” takes you from the legacy of the Baia Mare School to the treasures of the municipal collection, on a journey of beauty, emotion, and memory. Each artwork tells a story of memory, identity, and the beauty of authentic artistic expression.
This event carries a profound mission: to promote public collections. By giving visibility to the municipal collection, it strengthens Târgu Mureș’s status as a cultural hub and creates the foundation for the future development of artistic heritage. Through this opening, local heritage becomes not only preserved but also lived, understood, and loved by the community.
For the visitor, the experience becomes more than an act of contemplation – it is a meeting with oneself through art. It is the joy of discovering that, beyond time and trends, beauty remains a universal language we all understand.
Come and experience art beyond the filters of screens – unaltered, alive, and charged with creative energy. In a world where the 21st-century mind is shaped less by words and more by images, where children seek visuals before text and general culture dissolves into the endless flow of screens and artificial intelligence, art remains the place where memory, emotion, and thought can breathe freely.
