Frederic & Cecilia Cuţescu‑Storck Art Museum
About

Tucked away on Vasile Alecsandri Street, the Frederic & Cecilia Cuţescu‑Storck Art Museum offers a glimpse into the creative legacy of one of Romania’s most influential artistic families. Housed in a villa designed by the couple and built in 1912–1913, the museum showcases the works of sculptor Frederic Storck and painter Cecilia Cuţescu‑Storck, as well as pieces by Karl and Carol Storck. Cecilia, a pioneering figure in European art education, was the first female professor at an art academy in Europe. The museum’s collection includes sculptures, paintings, drawings, medals, and rare objects such as medieval icons and ancient coins. The intimate setting preserves the ambiance of a lived-in studio-home, reflecting the harmony and artistic spirit that defined the Storck family. Today, the museum operates in partnership with the Bucharest Municipality Museum, continuing to celebrate a century of Romanian artistic excellence.

Location

The Frederic and Cecilia Cuţescu-Storck Art Museum in Bucharest is located at 16 Vasile Alecsandri Street, in the northern part of the city. The museum occupies the former residence of the sculptor Frederic Storck and his wife, painter Cecilia Cuţescu-Storck, built between 1911 and 1913 with the help of architect Alexandru Clavel. This historic house serves as an architectural monument and was donated by the artists to the Romanian state in 1951 to preserve their art legacy. Inside, the museum showcases works by the Storck family, including sculptures and paintings spanning several generations, along with medieval religious sculptures, watercolors, coins, and medals. The collection highlights the artistic achievements of Karl Storck, Carol Storck, Frederic Storck, and Cecilia Cuţescu-Storck, who was one of the first female art professors in Europe. The museum's location places visitors in proximity to Bucharest’s northern residential quarters, providing a quieter, prestigious setting. Nearby, visitors can find other cultural and historical points of interest, leafy streets, and residential elegance, allowing for a serene yet culturally rich visit. The house's garden and preserved interior add to the intimate atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those wanting to explore Romanian modern art and early 20th-century architecture within a tranquil urban neighborhood.
