In a delightful, richly decorated house with a lovely garden (designed by French architect Andre Clavel), a short walk from Piaţa Victoriei, is this eclectic and quite superb museum dedicated to the work of the multi-talented Storck family, an important family of artists who have left an important influence on Romanian art. There are hundreds of examples of the family's work here, comprised of sculptures, watercolour and gouache paintings, pastel, India ink and charcoal drawings. The collection was donated to the state by Cecilia Cuțescu Storck (perhaps the most talented of the family) and her daughters Gabriela Florica Storck and Cecilia Frederica Storck Botez in 1951.
