About this audio guide
This guide to the George Enescu National Museum on Calea Victoriei in Bucharest starts at the locked gates of the Cantacuzino Palace, with a restoration that began in November twenty twenty-one on a two-year schedule. It reaches back to the rich prime minister Bucharest nicknamed the Nabob, and to the composer George Enescu, who married into his family. Stand by the stone lions at the entrance, facing the glass shell over the front door.
