"Who says you have to be a monarch to have a palace? Jean Mihail was not part of Romanian's royal family. However, the title he held in his lifetime remains untouched today: richest man in the history of Romania.
Jean Mihail owned several estates, including the Palace in Craiova. A philanthropist throughout his life, his wishes were for his wealth to be used for the public good upon his passing, specifically allocating funds for projects such as village libraries, church repairs, hospitals, education improvements, and incentives for students to stay in school and complete their education.
In 1954, the palace was converted to the Craiova Art Museum. one can't help but think this would've pleased the late Jean Mihail. The museum currently boasts a collection of more than 8,000 works of art from Romania and greater Europe.
The museum is regularly open daily. Check the museum website and Facebook page for current hours, events, and ticket prices prior to planning your visit. "
