The Iosif Keber memorial house is highly regarded as a significant cultural landmark in Târgu Jiu, especially following its recent restoration. Reviewers frequently mention the dual nature of the site, which serves as both a memorial to the painter and the Art Section of the county library. The collection is praised for its breadth, featuring Keber’s paintings, watercolors, and intricate plans for religious art. Many visitors are pleasantly surprised to find that entrance is free of charge. While some older reviews reflect frustration regarding past closures for renovation, current sentiment is very positive regarding the building's updated state and accessibility. The ground floor's extensive library of 20,000 art documents is noted as a valuable resource for researchers and art lovers alike.
