Iosif Keber Memorial House

Târgu Jiu, Gorj

The Iosif Keber memorial house is located on 11 Iunie 1848 Street, in the house that the painter built in 1932 according to the project of the architect Julius Doppelreiter. The neo-Romanian style facade has arches, decorations and a roof with distinct volumes. After restoration, the building was reopened to the public in 2022 and houses both the memorial house and the Art Section of the "Christian Tell" County Library.

The artist's donation brings together artworks, museum objects, books, albums and magazines. Testimonies about his easel painting and his work as a church painter are preserved in the rooms. The collection can be consulted in the house where Keber lived, and the library organizes exhibitions, workshops and meetings dedicated to art here.
