The European Art Gallery is divided into several subsections, approaching different forms of art, like gothic paintings, medieval and early modern Transylvanian architectonic pieces, cartographical exhibitions, Flemish, Dutch, and Italian paintings. For those who want to re-live the 18th- and 19th-century atmosphere, the museum’s first floor presents a restitution of the time’s interiors through two bedrooms, a living room, a secretary’s room, the room of the imperial portraits, and the portrait room of the Brukenthal Family.
