About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Bucharest, housed in the Suțu Palace, follows a noble family and the house they fought over in the eighteen thirties and after. You will meet Costache Suțu, a boyar with a talent for feuds, the two Viennese architects he hired, and a prince with his own ideas about whose emblem belonged on a façade. Listen from the pavement facing the ground-floor arcades, then step into the entrance hall.
