The famous work "La Blouse Roumaine", by Henri Matisse, can be admired until Monday, February 9, between 11:00 and 19:00, at the National Art Museum of Romania (MNAR).
The most expensive work ever exhibited in Romania, "La Blouse Roumaine", is present from November 21 within the exhibition "Romania - the identity representation of popular clothing in art".
"La Blouse Roumaine,'' by Henri Matisse, received an extra day in Bucharest, before returning to Paris. Those who have not yet had the chance to admire it can greet it in the exhibition 'RomanIA - the identity representation of folk clothing in art' which will be opened in a very exceptional way on Monday, February 9, between 11:00 and 19:00, announced MNAR on Friday in a Facebook post.
"The exhibition has received great attention from the public, and that is why the MNAR team is happily making an effort to extend the duration of the exhibition in order to offer you the opportunity to spend another day with 'La Blouse Roumaine' and, from Wednesday, February 11, another month with the over 300 masterpieces that thematize the representation and ideologisation of folk clothing throughout the centuries," said the exhibition curator and MNAR general director, Erwin Kessler.
After Matisse's work leaves for the Pompidou Center in Paris, the exhibition will remain open with normal hours, from Wednesday to Friday, between 10:00 and 18:00, and Saturday-Sunday, between 11:00 and 19:00.

An event held under the High Patronage of the President of Romania, the exhibition "RomanIA - the identity representation of folk costume in art", opened on the Ground Floor of the National Gallery of the MNAR, brings together over 320 pieces, coming from museum collections from the country and abroad, from private collections and from contemporary artists.
The broad historical and geographical coverage of the exhibition contextualizes the representations of the Romanian national costume, not only by relating to the artistic illustration of the folk costume of other minorities in Romania (Hungarian, German), but also by relating to the artistic representations of folk costumes from neighboring regions - Ukraine, Moldova and Bulgaria -, in order to highlight the similarities and differences, the influences and the constants.
These creations were joined by works by Henri Matisse, including the famous painting "La Blouse Roumaine", an iconic masterpiece of universal modernity, part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a work that left France for the first time and which was exceptionally loaned for the Romania exhibition.
