Art of Ideas Gallery attempts to reach for a deeper understanding of the purpose of art. It brings forward the argument that, for humans to advance as a civilization, our art should become both a social and a mental glue. It must interrogate reality, focus on and integrate the whole spectrum of human activities, in particular science.We are open on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays for guided tours. During the tour visitors can hear a presentation on the architecture of the house, its history and most famous owners, as well as an introduction to the art and ethos of visual artist Eugen-Florin Zamfirescu. In the upper galleries you have an opportunity to meet the artist and travel together on an unexpected journey: from the painting techniques of the High Renaissance to Newtonian physics and quantum mechanics.The gallery hosts regularly a variety of events such as classical music/jazz concerts, plays, poetry events and more.It is a unique place of learning, enchantment, engagement and hopefully illumination, all in the beautiful setting of a heritage home from the1870s.
