Tiberiu Brediceanu was born in Lugoj into the famous Brediceanu family, whose members dedicated their lives to helping their neighbours.
Introduced to music from an early age by his parents and his aunt, the future great composer and ethnomusicologist read law in Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna and Rome, but he continued his equally serious music-related activities – he studied Romanian folklore (of Banat and Ardeal in particular), lectured on musicology and ethnomusicology, and composed.
The Brediceanu house, today a museum, is located on 4 Victor Vlad Delamarima Street, a dense, compact road composed generally of housing buildings of a continuous front whose height varies from ground floor to one-storey.
The main façade is currently adorned with some simple ornaments, visual rhythm given rather by the basic frame windows in a full – empty relation. Both the ornaments and the frames may have been changed following renovation works, as were windows and courtyard gate woodwork. Similarly, the lower area of the windows is coated in face brick, out of line with the original façade.
The building, bearing a memorial plaque with the names of various members of the Brediceanu family, preserves its original general volume, height, and street relation, but some initial decorations and materials are probably lost.
