Top 10 Museums in Sala Floreasca, Romania

April 21, 2022 Roger Rusk

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).

National Museum of Old Maps and Books (Muzeul Nakional al Harkilor si Carkii Vechi)

Reviewed By AlexVN81 - Cortland, United States

This is a lovely museum in a very beautiful house in a nice neighborhood of Bucharest - the neighborhood right behind the government building which is full of diplomatic residences. I wanted to go to a different museum - not your regular art or history or natural science museum and found this gem of a museum. If you like history and geography and old drawings of Romanian geographical landmarks this is for you. The maps are quite old-1500s the oldest one- but in excellent conditions. They are maps of the old provinces of Romania, but also of other parts of the world - Europe, Middle East, but even Americas, East Asia etc. It is definitely worth it a visit. Check out the stained glass maps, too. Highly recommended!

Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History

“Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History is one of the oldest research institutions in the field of biodiversity and public education. It is in the same time one of the well-known and highly appreciated “databases” due to the Museum’s collections, some of them valuable assets of the worldwide thesaurus.

Went at weekends with my husband: price per adult 20 lei plus 10 lei photo fee so was more than decent. The museum is very interesting, the items are very well presented and described, they put tablets to find more info but I think due to the COVID situation these tablets were off. It takes you from stuffed animals to history of the vertebrates, human body and organs, fossils to gems and all kind of stones; there is even a small cave which was super wow. All in all we loved it a lot

K. H. Zambaccian Museum

Reviewed By Carmen194 - Bucharest, Romania

This museum is located in a beautiful neighborhood, Dorobanti, and it is accessible by public transportation (bus and metro). The building was commissioned by Krikor Zambaccian, a businessman and art collector of Armenian origin, to host his art collection. It gives an overview of the most important Romanian artists of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. The collection consists of paintings, drawings and sculptures by artists like Nicolae Grigorescu, Stefan Luchian, Ioan Andreescu, Nicolae Tonitza, Theodor Pallady, Theodor Aman, Georghe Petrascu, Camil Ressu, Oscar Han, Dimitrie Paciurea and more. A sculpture by Brancusi is also on display. Additionally the collection includes 19 artworks by 19th and 20th century French painters (Delacroix, Matisse, Picasso, Utrillo and a number of impressionists and post-impressionists such as Cezanne, Renoir, Pissaro). All in all a valuable art collection in an old building with a character. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Romanian art.

Muzeul George Severeanu

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!

MARe/Muzeul de Arta Recenta

Spectacular architecture, fine collection of Romanian Art produced between 1965 and today, international artists on temporary exhibitions, five decades of Romanian Art in one hour tour. Individual & group guided tours (Romanian & English), cafeteria and garden.

Reviewed By dromasca - Herzliya, Israel

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.

Storck Museum

Reviewed By owenm2015 - Cambridge, United Kingdom

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.
