Visual arts

Our projects present significant names of all generations and include exhibitions, performances, interventions, as well as showcases of fashion design and architecture.

They are often hosted by the Institute’s Brancusi Hall, but, with the support of the Institute, Romanian artists also exhibit in well-known museums and galleries in and outside London. Among our partners in the arts are major institutions such as Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert Museum, Camden Arts Centre, Royal Academy of Art, London Festival of Architecture and On|Off .
