"Theodor Pallady" Museum — Attraction in Bucharest

This old house is real a gem, reflecting the atmosphere from a bygone era. It was built in 1750 and have been restored several times since then and it is known as the oldest inhabited house from Bucharest.

I would have needed more information on the architecture, a plan for example, but the only thing available was a brochure to be bought at the ticket desk. This is totally unacceptable for a museum belonging to the Ministry of Culture. There was no information in the rooms, except the very brief notes by the exhibits. There are very little art pieces in the museum, and the Pallady collection is truly disappointingly small and inconsistent. The staff is not helpful at all. They were gathered in a small group in the main hall, talking, and staring at the two visitors in such a rude way, it made me very...
