Muzeul Municipiului București este un muzeu de istorie și artă tutelat de Primăria Municipiului București. Este instalat în Palatul Suțu, situat pe Bulevardul I. C. Brătianu nr. 2, în centrul capitalei. În iulie 1921, la propunerea primarului Gheorghe Gheorghian, consiliul comunal București a hotărât înființarea Muzeului Comunal București. Inițiativa s-a putut însă concretiza abia după ce primăria capitalei a pus la dispoziția muzeului Casa Moruzi, o clădire istorică situată pe Calea Victoriei Nr. 117. Inaugurarea a avut loc la 22 noiembrie 1931, în prezența primului-ministru Nicolae Iorga a primarului general Dem I. Dobrescu și a foștilor primari Gheorghe Corbescu și Emil Predescu.

În 1933 a fost înființată Pinacoteca Municipiului București, ca secție a Muzeului Comunal, căreia i s-a fixat sediul în Bulevardul Lascăr Catargiu Nr. 21. Acest local fusese donat primăriei de către Ana Urseanu, soția amiralului Vasile Urseanu, cu condiția ca în acest local să funcționeze în continuare Observatorul Astronomic din București înființat de către Amiralul Vasile Urseanu în 1910. Din 1950 a fost redată menirea astronomică inițială a clădirii, sub titulatura de Observatorul Astronomic Popular.

În decursul timpului, muzeul de tablouri a funcționat în diferite locații, majoritatea localurilor fiind improprii pentru activitate expozițională. Cu toate acestea, în 1940 în patrimoniul muzeului erau incluse deja 4330 de piese, În timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial colecțiile muzeului au fost puse la adăpost în comuna Rosnic.

În 1956 sediul muzeului a fost mutat în Palatul Suțu de pe Bulevardul I.C. Brătianu Nr.2, unde funcționează și în prezent. În 1959 Muzeul Comunal București a fost redenumit Muzeul de Istorie al Municipiului București care a fost inaugurat la 23 ianuarie 1959, cu prilejul sărbătoririi a 100 de ani de la Unirea Principatelor Române. Muzeul de Artă a rămas o entitate aparte.

În 1984, Muzeul de Artă al Municipiului București și Muzeul de Istorie s-au unificat sub denumirea Muzeul de Istorie și Artă al Municipiului București. În 1999 numele muzeului s-a modificat din nou, luând denumirea sa actuală de Muzeul Municipiului București

Muzeul Municipiului București are sediul central în Palatul Suțu din Bdul. I.C. Brătianu nr. 2. La 29 martie 1832, autoritățile bucureștene au aprobat biv vel postelnicului Costache Grigore Suțu (1799-1875) îngrădirea întinsei sale proprietăți, moștenite de la soția sa Ruxandra Racoviță, aflate între biserica Colței și până în apropierea bisericii Sf. Sava (actuala stradă Academiei). Pe acest teren el a hotărât să construiască un palat (arhitecți austriecii Johann Veit și Conrad Schwinck) finalizat, în linii mari, în 1834-1835. Construit în stil neogotic, având patru turnulețe poligonale, câte două pe părțile laterale, clădirea se remarca prin cupola similară aceleia de la conacul din Golești. Peste doi ani, în octombrie 1836, proprietarul a comandat meșterului austriac Eser, executarea unui splendid policandru de alamă, format din 24 de sfeșnice, întocmai ca cel de la biserica Sf. Ioan Nou.

Din inițiativa lui Grigore Suțu (1819-1893), fiul lui Costache, și a Irinei Hagi Moscu, fiica marelui bancher Ștefan Hagi Moscu, soția sa, palatul a cunoscut peste un sfert de secol transformări notabile. Astfel, interiorul a căpătat forma actuală în 1862 datorită lui Karl Storck, cunoscut sculptor și artist decorator, care a modificat holul central prin deschiderea a trei arcade care te conduc spre o scară monumentală desfăcută în două brațe prin care se urcă la etaj. Peretele din față este dominat de o imensă oglindă adusă din Italia, de la Murano, înconjurată de un frumos ancadrament în care este sculptat medalionul Irinei Suțu. Vizitatorul remarcă de asemenea ceasul comandat la Paris special pentru holul palatului cu cadran invers pentru a fi citit în oglinda care...

Great example of what russians did to Romania via communism. The very nice building is now the Museum of Bucharest, where the expos are showing the history of a lively city mainly pointing to the 18-19 and early 20 th century. There is a small expo describing some moments in the 20th century AND then it’s the museum exprience itself. Looks like nobody really cares, the city council (operating the museum) has no plan nor interest for this museum, the building is not well maintained and the expos are mainly pics on the walls. The ticket on cash only request, the toilets, the overall experience is very communist. This happened to the entire country starting 1945 and still recovering from that culture. An architectural wonder rundown by corruption and lack of interest. The museum organizers did the best to present some basic infos but it is shameful for a museum in Europe in the...

This is a decent but small museum. If you've only got a few days I'd either say skip it or make it your only museum... There's a bit of info and exhibits covering Bucharest from the paleolithic through the end of the communist regime, so you get a sample of everything. We'd done most of the other major museums in the city so we've seen more in-depth exhibits, but there's a bit of art, some military relics, info on common citizens lives through the ages as well as some of the history of the architecture. There are stairs so be aware if you have mobility issues and a photo permit is an additional charge on the ticket (13 Lei for the ticket and 20 to take photos as of Sept of 24) so plan accordingly. Overall worthwhile and you can see the whole thing in...

Definitely worth to visit. There are three exhibitions, 2 temporary, 1 permanent. When we went there the temporary ones were about salt extraction and industry in Romania and Romanian art throughout different centuries. They were interesting, but the best part was the history part for sure. You find yourself in a journey starting from communism in Romania to Stone Age. You can learn many things about what Romania went through over the years and there are also very nice pictures showing the city now and then. The price is 10 lei per person, and if you are a student it is only 5 lei, but you are not allowed to take pictures. If you want to do so, you need to pay 15 lei more.

Horrible experience. You cannot find the filthy entrance, and then you cannot buy the tickets by card, you can only buy them online and when we did, they do not accept the confirmation of the payment, only the QR codes, and we are 10minutes here with the receipt for the QR codes to come, the payment confirmation is not enough. Horrible. Also, they have an event, the lockers are full, and the ticket to take pictures with your phone without flash costs more than our two tickets combine. Outrageous. Just don't visit. When cities tell you they do not care for your time and money, to advertise their country, listen to them. I will insert photo of the toilets.

This museum was a small surprise for me, as it is not well known, but it provides a lot of information about the city’s and the country's history. The main exhibition provides a deep dive to the history from the ancient age, up to the current ages, including the Communist era. It is really interesting for history lovers as it is well organised and the amount of info is the right one. Apart from that, there are a few temporary exhibitions. When I visited, the two more interesting were the Gheorghe Tatarescu one (Romanian painter) and the one with the portraits of the Communist era leaders and how these were used to promote them.
