The discovery of a Nicolae Grigorescu painting valued at only 3.5 lei in a museum's records has sparked controversy. Culture Minister Ioana Ciocan attributed this to an administrative error, emphasizing the need for additional funding for regular evaluations of cultural heritage. She noted that the painting's true value is significantly higher, recalling it was previously assessed at 35,000 lei. Ciocan plans to propose displaying the artwork to attract more visitors. She highlighted the broader issue of inadequate resources for museum evaluations and low salaries for museum staff, urging collaboration among experts in the field. The report from the Court of Accounts revealed stark discrepancies in art valuations within the museum.
