George Enescu National Museum — Attraction in Bucharest

I walked on Calea Victoriei many times, and every time I saw Palatul Cantacuzino it left me stunned by its beauty, but I only visited it for the first time yesterday. It felt really magical visiting this museum, due to its marvelous interior. Compositions of George Enescu played on the background while the dim light added a very authentic view of the Palace on its glorious times.

One of the most exquisite French Baroque/Art Nouveau styled Mansions you will ever see in any country, especially Romania. It's a national treasure both for cultural and architectural reasons.
