Spring Palace (Primăverii)

The former residence of the Ceausescu family, at that time the most luxurious home in Romania, is now open to the general public.

You must book at least 24 hours in advance, due to the interest for this monument of luxury from a time when the population slept in the cold and darkness.

The house, as an architectural project, and the interior design elements are the result of the work of the greatest architects and artists of the time, and some of the clothing and decorative pieces are received as gifts from heads of state and important people of the world.

National Museum of Art of Romania

The most important art museum in the country operates in the Royal Palace on Calea Victoriei, a space it has occupied since 1953.

The museum's collection is divided into two large galleries, the national and the European art gallery.

The Gallery of Modern Romanian Art has works by the most important Romanian artists, such as Nicolae Grigorescu, Ștefan Luchian, Theodor Aman, Gheorghe Tattarescu, Corneliu Baba, Cecilia Cuțulescu Storck, Constantin Brâncuși, Tonitza, Iser and many others.

National Museum of History

The most important museum of the Romanian state, and perhaps the largest apart from the open-air ones, operates in the former Post Office Palace on Calea Victoriei. Here are exposed the most important objects of state patrimony and the most representative vestiges from the history of the Romanian people and of the civilizations that existed in this geographical space.
