 Museum of Romanian Peasant,
Bucharest by Andraf
The museum building has an interesting story as well. The museum was founded in 1905 under the name of Ethnographical and National Art Museum. In 1906 Carol I laid the foundation for the present building; the construction was stopped in 1916 and restarted in 1932. It was completed only in 1935, 29 years after it was started. The red-brick building is an illustration of the neo-Romanian style inspired from the traditional architecture. In 1953, the communists "liberated" the building and sent the collection away to another location. The building was turned into a museum dedicated to the history of the Communist Party. In 1990 the museum returned to its old location. Leave a Comment

 Muzeul Literaturii Romane,
Bucuresti by Fam_Stoica
When he became the owner of the house in 1839, Scarlat Kretzulescu – a man of refined taste – began the restoration of the house : iron grades for the staircase at the entrance, lattice work for the balcony, parquetry enriched with ornamental patterns worked in rose wood, refined furniture, china and silverware, walls decorations with French and Italian Paintings, a new greenhouse with pomegranate, lemon trees and oleanders.
In 1853 Elena Villara dies; until 1874 when Scarlat Kretzulescu dies too, the house had been an attraction for the upper crust of Bucharest. The balls, the parties offered by the hosts aroused admiration and envy. The house was left by will to Constantin Kretzulescu, Scarlat Kretzulescu’s brother. Because he lived in Paris at that time, Constantin Kretzulescu asked Ion Ghica, his cousin, to arrange the selling of the house. Until 1885 the house was rented, and from that year became the property of Baron Frank, a banker. Later on the house became the property of the state and its destination changed - the Electricity Laboratory of Bucharest University was settled there. After 1945 the building changed its destination again and became the location of the Romanian and Russian Museum. From 1970 the house became the Romanian Literature Museum, as the storehouse remained in Kiseleff Street. After the earthquake in 1977 the archives were moved in the building situated in Dacia Boulevard No.12 (the former Foundation Street No. 4). The wing of the house, which had been destroyed during the war, was built again. The building was renovated and restored entirely between 1991-1997 according to the original architectural drafts.

If you like museums than this is a one not to miss. I have recently visited it and realized it might be the first time as an adult seeing the exibits inside. It really impressed me, especially the stuffed animals, which are very nicely done and presenting scenes from animal life. Also, wax people from all over the world and period of times are very well built, so you will also visit a wax museum. From wax is also made a copy of a cave, through which you will pass. Another feature that impressed me was the Earth globe showing the mountains below the oceans (see picture!). You will found also many animal, insect and bird exibits, also nively presented. As a matter of fact, I have realized that this museum is at least as good as the one in Vienna, which is bigger, but I can say fauna exibits here looks better. And I could tell you more, but do visit and you will be impressed. Leave a Comment Directions: In Piata Victoriei square, accross the goverment building. Metro station "Piata Victoriei".

The museum was first opened in 1930 but in the communist era (until 1990) the building housed a museum representing the communist party. Currently, there is still a room at the basement displaying ironically some of the items from that period of the museum. Another interesting fact is that the building is placed on the former site of the State Mint. This museum was designated the "European Museum of the Year" in 1996.

Starting with 1948 the palace houses the National Art Museum and it displays an extensive collection of Romanian and European art dating from the 15th to the 20th century. The building was damaged during the events of December 1989 and was closed for several years for repairs. Leave a Comment

The guidebooks said this the best museum in Bucharest and one of the best in the country and it was voted the European Museum of the year in 1996 so we headed here on our last day in Bucharest.
The exhibits are well laid out, you can find cards in most of the rooms with descriptions in several languages. There are two wooden churches and a cottage from the northern region of the country on display, one of the churches is outside. Displays in the rooms include Romanian clothes, pottery, stained glass icons and a full Romanian classroom.
In the basement of the museum is the Communist Iconography Museum with paintings of Stalin, bust of Lenin and portraits of some dictator I don't recognize, perhaps Ceausescu's predecessor. Leave a Comment
