The 5 Best Art Museums in Sala Floreasca, Romania
Vlad the Impaler stated his claim to Bucharest in 1459. His citadel on the Dambovita was the first of flotillas of palaces, many of which still stand. Four subway lines and a modern bus network transport visitors and commuters. Nicknamed "Little Paris", Bucharest's elegant early 20th-century architecture shows French influences. Don't miss the Village Museum, Romanian Athenaeum and the Peasant Museum. You can't miss the Palace of Parliament, the second-largest building in the world (after the Pentagon).

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Traces of the Past – The Maria and Dr. George Severeanu Collection is an exhibition meant to promote doctor Severeanu’s impressive collection of numismatic and archaeological items, and to familiarize the public with the world of collections and collectors during the early 20th century. With the aid of texts (Romanian and English) placed in each room, visitors will be able to become acquainted with various categories of historical artifacts and their associated information, especially given the fact that currently no other museum or public collection in Bucharest offers a similar exhibit. The numismatic artifacts are integrated according to their chronology, origin, typology etc., focusing on the hoards gathered by the collector, so as to suggest, in harmony with associated historical information, a history of monetary circulation. We look forward to your visit!

This is a beautiful museum focusing on numismatics and artefacts and hosted by a very nice 19th century house.

MARe is a great addition to the museums in Bucharest. Located in the former house of Ana Pauker, fully renovated into a modern museum facility. Four floors of art, two of them dedicated to the permanent collection of Romanian contemporary art, another two to temporary exhibitions. Remarkable! The only observation - some of the works of art in the more narrow corridors do not fit the space, smaller works should be exposed there. Otherwise a place not to be missed.

I had heard of the Storck Museum but came across it by accident on a back street (Alecsandri Vasile) between Piata Romana and Pasaj Victoria. The building immediately stands out with its old wine colour and timbered face under the eaves, in what is described as an English-Flemish style. It's a striking building but in need of repair/renovation. For my visit, the garden was closed - entrance to the museum cost €1 for concessions and €2 for waged people. In some respects, it is the perfect museum with enough diversity and beauty to entrance and entertain but not so much that one feels overwhelmed. A gentle amble around the 3 main rooms and passage taking in the exhibits by the artists of the Storck family would take an hour or a little more. The main saloon is possibly the most impressive with its collection of paintings and murals by Cecilia-Cutescu Storck, and bronzes by Frederic Storck - here the room's design/decoration and the art it contains vie for attention. Some of the pictures reflect Cecilia's travels in western Europe (from Britanny to Portugal). The bronze heads capture character beautifully. A passage to another large room has fine bas-reliefs of the gospel writers. Dominating this second room is a remarkable wooden model of the Biserica Episcopala in Curtea de Arges, and two life-size statues. A splendid excursion for a morning or afternoon away from the city-centre bustle, possibly completed with a coffee & snack at the nearby Sonder.
