Ferestroika
About

Ferestroika is a unique private museum in Bucharest that offers an immersive glimpse into everyday life during Romania’s communist era. Located in a preserved apartment from the 1980s, it provides visitors with an authentic experience through the Learn-Touch-Taste concept. Unlike traditional museums, guests are encouraged to interact with exhibits, touching household items, clothing, and memorabilia that once defined life under the regime. Guided tours take visitors through the apartment, showcasing how families lived, what they ate, and how they decorated their homes. The experience is enriched with personal stories, historical insights, and even a taste of authentic homemade snacks from the period. Situated in a former communist neighborhood, Ferestroika also offers a walking tour that highlights the architectural and urban planning influences of the era. With small group tours ensuring a personalized experience, this museum is a must-visit for those interested in Romania’s recent history and cultural heritage.

Bucharest Romania
Location

Ferestroika is a unique museum offering an immersive experience into communist-era daily life, located at Strada Ion Manolescu 1, 011938 Bucharest, Romania. This fascinating attraction provides a glimpse into a typical Romanian apartment from the 1980s, complete with authentic furnishings and details from that period. While not in the immediate vicinity of Bucharest's most famous historical landmarks like the Old Town, Ferestroika is situated in a more residential area, offering a different perspective on the city. It's relatively close to the Piața Romană area, a bustling square with various shops and eateries. From there, it's easy to access Victory Avenue (Calea Victoriei), one of Bucharest's most important thoroughfares, lined with historical buildings, high-end shops, and cultural institutions. The Romanian Athenaeum, a magnificent concert hall, and the National Museum of Art of Romania are also accessible via a short journey. Its location encourages visitors to explore different facets of Bucharest beyond the main tourist trails, offering a deeper understanding of its recent history.
