Art Museum "Frederic Storck and Cecilia-Cuţescu" — Attraction in Bucharest

The Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu Storck is located on the northern side of Bucharest, at No. 16 Vasile Alecsandri Street. The Museum’s heritage was mainly formed by the donation made in October 1951 by Cecilia Cuțescu Storck and daughters Gabriela Florica Storck and Cecilia Frederica Storck Botez, towards the People’s Town Council.

The house – an architectural monument – was built by the two artists between 1911 and 1913, and preserves the creations of an entire family of artists.

Karl Storck (1826-1887), a sculptor, was the first sculpting professor at the School of Fine Arts, founded by Theodor Aman. He is the author of the first monumental sculpture of Bucharest, which still exists today, and portrays Mihail Cantacuzino.

Carol Storck (1854-1926), sculptor, Karl Storck’s son, is the author of three of the allegories decorating the Bucharest Palace of Justice, and of the monument “General Dr. Carol Davila”, located in front of the Bucharest University of Medicine.

Frederic Stork (1872-1942), sculptor, Karl Storck’s son, was a professor at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts.

Cecilia Cuțescu Storck (1879-1969), painter, wife of sculptor Frederic Storck, was the first female professor in an art academy, not only in Romania but also in Europe. She taught painting and decorative arts at the Bucharest School of Fine Arts.

The Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu Storck collection encompasses sculptures, paintings, drawings in ink and charcoal, pastels, watercolors, and gouache works. Additionally there are a series of plates and bronze medals, as well as other collectibles, such as ancient...

I fell in love with the house, with the story and especially with the Art. Cecilia & Fritz were two of the greateast creators of their time. Their art benefited from their mutual admiration of the human body, their love for nature(their personal garden is tempting the visitors to dream of far long gone days) and their ability to translate beauty into stone. The whole house is painted by Cecilia and has Fritz's masterpieces adorning it. Left to decay by their heirs and not reinforced nor restaured, the beautiful home will collapse eventually if not for some miracle intervention. One of the pending great loses of the world of art and a gem to be regretted soon, this is a place where beauty has called home for many, many years. It's worth a visit and the time to listen to the story. The only thing that I can do is to invite you to have your own experience of...

Currently spotted by instagramers and in hype. Loved it. You can visit the house and the garden. There are many sculptures and paintingsplus the interior design is quite cool - tapestry marble columns. Various sculptures of Romanian royal figures or German writers. The garden is impressive it has a japanese tree which creates a cozy private little place inside. It has flowers, fig trees and a stone little fountain.

At the entrance you cand find big blocks of stone depicting some gods I guess which were interesting due to the fact that they came from the University of Bucharest after WWII bombing. Also various white statuetes embedded in the exterior walls, that added a personal...
