　　This airy museum in an atrium is heavy on 19th-century realism and landscapes, including those by Nicolae Grigorescu, whose pointillist and Impressionist paintings anticipated more modern movements. Our favourite has to be his Study of a Cow. The upper level is given over to the dark abstract modernist Ion Alin Gheorghiu.

Great Mahmudiye Mosque

Black Sea Coast & Littoral

　　This impressive mosque is the seat of the mufti and was built in 1910 by King Carol I. It's the spiritual home of the 50,000 Muslims who inhabit the coastal region. The highlight is the enormous Persian rug, said to be the largest carpet in the country. You can climb...

Naval History Museum

Black Sea Coast & Littoral

　　This museum offers a fascinating if slightly confusing stroll through 2000 years of maritime history on the Black Sea. The exhibit begins in the Greco-Roman period, with some intricate models of old Roman boats, but quickly moves to the 19th and 20th centuries. The garden is strewn with relics of...

Black Sea Coast & Littoral

　　This is the city's most important museum, though on balance it's a minor disappointment. The stunning exhibits of vases, jewellery and statuary from the Greek and Roman periods, lasting until about AD 500, easily justify the admission price, but the top-floor exhibits on more recent times lack signage in English....

Black Sea Coast & Littoral

　　Constanţa's planetarium, located just next to the Natural Sciences Museum Complex, is a fun rainy-day treat for kids. The 3D projection shows throughout the day are narrated in Romanian, but the visual effects are stunning and will wow small kids. ...

Natural Sciences Museum Complex

Black Sea Coast & Littoral

　　The museum complex is more of a zoo than traditional museum, with exhibits on flora and fauna, including live birds and other animals, common to the Black Sea region. The complex features a dolphinarium, with daily performances of trained dolphins. Bear in mind that sea-animal encounters and similar shows have...
