Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Art Museum, Art museum and historic monument in Bucharest, Romania.
The Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Art Museum is a residential house in central Bucharest where an artist family lived and created their works. The building combines neoclassical and art nouveau styles and now displays works from three generations of artists, spanning from grandfather to grandchild.
The building was constructed from 1912 to 1913 by artists Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck together with architect Alexandru Clavel. After the artists passed away, the house was converted into a museum in 1951 to preserve the family's artistic legacy for the public.
The house served as both a home and working studio for artists who created and collected works here. The rooms show how an artistic family lived and worked, with personal belongings displayed alongside their creations.
The museum is located on Vasile Alecsandri Street and is easily accessible on foot. The building spreads across several levels, so visitors should allow time to explore all the exhibition areas and rooms throughout the house.
The museum houses a detailed wooden model of Curtea de Arges monastery that Karl Storck handcrafted in 1867, showing the building before later restoration work changed its appearance. This carefully made miniature gives visitors a rare view of how the historic monastery originally looked.
