About this audio guide
This guide to the Theodor Pallady Museum in Bucharest follows a young Romanian sent to Dresden to study engineering, and the German painter who gave him advice his family would not welcome. It moves on to Paris, to Gustave Moreau's studio and a friendship with Henri Matisse, and to a banker neighbour on Place Dauphine. Best heard on the creaking wooden staircase of the old merchant's house.
