The headquarters of the Museum of Ethnography and Folk Art (former headquarters of the National Bank of Romania - Tulcea Agency) is one of the emblematic public buildings for Tulcea, constituting, together with other buildings, valuable examples of the architecture of national forms. The construction is based on a project developed in 1924 and was erected during the interwar period (1924-1927), so it was at the end of the era of manifestation of the national trend in Romanian architecture. This public edifice can be considered a successful example of modern architecture, built on traditional values, which marked the first part of the 20th century.
