About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Recent Art in Bucharest follows five painters who made their debut in nineteen eighty-five under the name Prolog, and the garden where they set up their easels together. It touches on the Orthodox idea behind their name, the communist-era villa that once stood on this corner, and the dark brick building that replaced it. Best heard on the pavement facing the glass ground floor, before you head upstairs.
