About this audio guide
This guide to the Zambaccian Art Museum in Bucharest follows Krikor Zambaccian, an Armenian textile merchant from Constanța who lost one art collection and set out to build a second that would last. It takes in the house he had designed to show paintings, the terms he wrote into his gift to the state, and the decades that tested them. Best heard at the gate, before you step inside.
