The Tulcea Art Museum is an art museum located at 2 Grigore Antipa Street, Tulcea, Romania. The building that houses the museum was erected between 1863 and 1865, under the Ottoman Empire, and was originally an administrative center, the palace of the Tulcea sanjak's pasha, headquarters of the mutasarrıfate and its nine kaza administrators. In 1860, Tulcea had become the capital of a sanjak including Northern Dobruja (minus the Danube Delta) and part of Southern Dobruja; the previous capital was at Babadag. It was during this period that the European Commission of the Danube was established and foreign consulates began to appear in Tulcea.
