The museum was opened in 1967 as an Art Museum and then specialised in Romanian Contemporary Art. Since 1990 it is named the Visual Art Museum. The most important collections include paintings, sculptures, graphics, decorative art (tapestry, pottery, glassware). A smaller part of the collections of paintings, sculptures and graphics are a few items from the 19th century (classic artists such as Aman, Rosenthal, Grigorescu), and from the interwar period (Victor Brauner, Theodor Pallady, Petraşcu, Tonitza etc.). The largest part of the collection is made up of Romanian contemporary art achieved between 1967 and 2012 (Horia Bernea, I. Gheorghiu, I. Sălişteanu, Marin Gherasim, ...Ana Lupaş, Gheorghe Apostu, Ion Ţuculescu and others). The museum owns goods listed in the National Cultural Heritage Treasure.
