The southern part of the square is dominated by the Art Museum. This museum is also known as the Baroque Palace which was in the old times the Old Prefect's Office.
In the XVIII century , this building was one of the most beautiful building due to its style that was also seen at Kinsky Palace from Wien. The building has two floors and a garret, but what impresses us the most are the two gates that mark the entrance . The gates are built in an authentic viennese baroque style
The Palace was visited by great personalities like Emperor Franz Josef I, king Ferdinand I and Queen Maria. The visitors can always visit art exibitions in Banat Art Museum..This way touristis have the opportunity to visit one of the most important historycal buildings from Timisoara.
In the summer young people come to expose their work. The sell hand made, paintings, old stuff, silver made jewells. Also in the warm summer night you can come and watch a movie that its projected on the facade of the Museum.
People usually come and take a sit on the grass just like they are at a picnic and they also share their impressions.
