About this audio guide
This guide to the Dr. Nicolae Minovici Folk Art Museum in Bucharest is about the people behind a neo-Romanian villa hung with glass bells. It follows a forensic doctor who founded the city's first ambulance service, the foreign colleagues he brought here, and the folk art he gathered from across Romania. Stand near the gazebo, where you can hear the bells, before turning to the grounds.
