The neoclassical building dates from 1869, and it was designed by the architect Fr. Scheller after the artist's plans. Theodor Aman (1831 - 1891) designed and carried out a large part of the carved decoration, bas-reliefs, and medallions of the façade, the adornment of the doors, the carvings of some pieces of furniture (the neo-Gothic wardrobe, the table), and the mural painting of the two historical scenes on both sides of the entrance hall. The collection comprises many oil paintings, drawings, watercolours, engravings, sculptures from the original items donated by Ana Aman (in 1904), as well as prints, etchings, documents, letters, exhibition catalogues, old weapons, masks, costum...es, the painter's tools and violoncello. Next to representative canvases (great historical compositions, self-portraits, workshop images, landscapes), the museum has a large collection of aqua forte etchings.
