Mistakenly believed to be the great Romanian composer George Enescu's former home, this outstanding Secession house was in fact built for landowner George Cantacuzino in 1905, and many older Bucharest residents still refer to it as the Cantacuzino Palace. It became state property in 1955, the year of Enescu's death, and a year later opened as a musuem dedicated to his life and work. You will find rooms full of the usual memorabilia and artefacts from the eventful life of Romania's most famous composer, as well as a full telling of the story of Romanian music in general.
Admission 6 lei, students/children 1.50 lei.

Visted here in 2010. Enescu should be better know world wide. Amazing composer. Smaller building at back of Cantacuzino is where he lived.
