George Enescu Museum, Musical memorial museum in Calea Victoriei, Romania.
Description
The George Enescu Museum occupies the Cantacuzino Palace, a striking building featuring Art Nouveau design and ornate decorative details throughout its rooms. The structure houses the composer's collections across multiple floors and displays his work alongside the palace's architectural character.
History
The palace was constructed in the early 1900s and decorated by Romanian master craftsmen. It was converted into a museum in 1956 to preserve the legacy of the composer.
Culture
The museum displays personal belongings, manuscripts, and instruments that tell the story of George Enescu's role in shaping Romanian classical music. Walking through the rooms gives you a sense of how he lived and worked as an artist.

The collection includes a violin from 1731 made by the master craftsman Guarneri. Also remarkable are the handwritten scores of the opera Oedipe, on which Enescu worked for more than a decade.
