Transilvania Bank (BT) and National Museum of Art of Romania (MNAR) launches a partnership that will bring art closer to people.
The partnership, carried out in the period 2026 – 2027, is a national project, which will contribute to the development of the urban cultural ecosystem through initiatives and experiences that bring people together. BT's involvement, through a significant investment, will amplify the visibility of MNAR's initiatives - an institution with national and international prestige and impact.
The National Museum of Art of Romania, which operates in the former Royal Palace and in four other palaces and buildings in Bucharest, is one of the most well-known cultural institutions in the country, with over 200,000 visitors/year and a heritage valued at over 1.3 billion lei.
