    We took advantage of the free entry, to visit this museum, the (visual) collection itself is awesome, many varieties of crystals (or flowers of the earth as the museum describes them), to see(5 stars). The exhibits are mainly aimed at locals not tourists as there is very few english translations, (the fluorescent room, does have english translation), which is a shame as the information that went with the exhibits looked very interesting, (3 stars).

    Worth a visit for a walk around.

    Me and my family came here on the Night of the Museum. The artworks are superb, especially the sculptures (i am not a big fan of the paintings inside here but art is subjective). It's bad that the place, not being well looked after, gives you a little coldness. With proper work and some renovation, this could be a great attraction.

    the place is really nice and peacefull.

    i didn’t kinda like the outdoor exhibits because they were dirty and sitting into grass. table with presentation of the exhibit was non really explicative and dirty.

    the indoor was actually really nice and cute, I say. i liked it a lot nothing else to say.

    its sad that usually people are not there, but i recomand this 75%

    This is the memorial house of the Romanian famous poet Tudor Arghezi (real name Ion Teodorescu). It was built based on his own plans between the first and the second WW and he lived in for 40 years. The house is full of his personal objects and is definetely worth a visit.

    the house is an touristic objective by itself, being the oldest functional house in Bucharest (people say) and located in the former Armenian neighborhood, in a central area, but on a quiet street; the house has a name, Casa Melik
    the architecture is interesting, it's worth to rest for a while in the garden, to see the house from the middle of the vegetation, guarded by the painter (statue)
    the museum is a cosy and nice one, and it offers some nudes of Pallady, to the lower level, and the art collection of a local worthy family, to the upper level
    the art collection includes painting, sculptures, old stylish furniture
    there is a very nice part of the house, dedicated to the youngest painters that could come here to practice
    the cost of the visit is two euros, there is a brochure but only in Romanian...only cash, no cards...

    For me this is one of the best museums for recent/ contemporary art I've visited in Europe, after Centre Pompidou in Paris, which of course it's of a larger magnitude and inflicted reputation. MARe offers a splendid, but balanced and carefully curated permanent collection from Romanian artists from communist and post-communist times. I think it is definitely worth to visit it if you are particularly interested in works from this period of time.

    the first thought was this museum is a sort of franchise, after l"Atelier des Lumières, but the guys said they are not; of course; after I saw Van Gogh in Paris, the next scheduled show was Klimt, but it's only a coincidence
    the immersive experience is interesting, anyway; it worth to see Klimt show; the water life....was so and so, for sure could be more interesting
    waiting for the next shows, of course, it's an ongoing activity
    a pros is the special selfie you could take, using the museum's device; good idea

    The museum is great for.people with technical interests. You can see steam engines, a lot of old cars, the evolution of the bicycle, three phase generators... quite a lot of fun things for someone interested in engineering.
    Unfortunately there are no explanantions in Emglish and no animations but everything there can be demostrated.

    Downtown museum, set in the small but lovely Suțu palace; it boasts various art collections, like the one in the former Simu museum and a beautiful nudes display by Theodor Pallady; Bucharest history is also depicted on the first floor; don’t miss the building itself with its ceilings and the grand staircase;

    The museum is located in a recently renovated villa, a fine example of Neo-romanian architecture. It has a small, but interesting collections of Romanian folk art. Unfortunately, just half of the building is accessible to the public, but more rooms will be opened when the exhibition setup is done. It also has a beautiful garden ideal for reading and relaxing, which can be accessible without a ticket. The neighboring building is also a museum and worth checking out.

    An interesting museum housed in an old mansion near Victoriei Square. Nice,recently restored. The current exhibition is titled "The Museum of Ages" and tries to present to the visitor 300 years of family and childhood history. You can see household items, pieces of clothing, weapons, furniture, all belonging to long gone time

    Even though this concept & this gallery itself is quite a novelty on the artistic scene of Bucharest, Future Museum proved to be successful from its first exhibition. Located in the Czech Centre Bucharest, the hall where the exhibitions are displayed has a long history of being used as a projection hall or party-place which helped this place become one of the most popular cultural centres in Bucharest. I visited one of the most recent exhibitions, namely Ovidiu Anton's "Home is where my problems are" and I can honestly say that I was amazed by the number of people attending the opening gala, the exquisite quality of the artworks and the ingenious way in which the works were installed.

    I definitely recommend this place to anybody wanting to spend a few hours in a place stripped of formalities, but full of ideas and concepts which can be considered unexplored on the art scene of Bucharest.

    A fascinating time capsule, and thought provoking collection of Romanian art, and an astonishing library. Well worth a visit.
