Small Museums in Bucharest
Bucharest has an abundance of museums, exhibiting everything from local contemporary art to military tools and histories. Whilst there are some major museums, there are also some smaller, lesser-known institutions perfect for getting under the skin of the city. There's the Muzeul de Arta of Frederic Storck, which was, at one point in time, the living quarters of Storck and his family. Today, it exhibits a range of Romanian sculpture, including impressive marble statues and tiled ornaments.
The oldest museum in Bucharest, the Muzeul Theodor Aman, is perhaps one of the lesser known cultural centres. Here, you can wander amongst furniture and curiosities created by Aman himself. Travel lovers will enjoy the Muzeul Hartilor si Cartii Vechi, or the Museum of Old Maps and Books, which has a fascinating collection of historical globes, paintings, and maps all displayed inside the biggest cartography museum in the whole of Europe.
