Charming and opulent museum that feels like a travel back in time. Here we can find a lot of objects that take us back to the 19th and beginning of the 20th century Bucharest. The Romanian capital was once known as "Little Paris" due to the great influence of the French people. This is a hidden little gem in the town center that makes us feel nostalgic for a time we never lived and in which people went to great lenghts to create beautiful and picturesque objects. Absolutely recommended, cheap and the staff is very nice and helpful, you can tell that they are passionate about what they do.

It is an amazing place to visit in Bucharest. It transports you back to a different time, when the city was having a beautiful historic center. The apartment is decorated for the interwar period and it's full of memorabilia. Highly recommended it!

This place is just incredible and the man who works there is so charming and likeable. We really enjoyed seeing this, it is so unique and we learnt something new about Bucharest and Romania! Love from Serbia. 😍

If you visit Bucharest old center (centrul vechi) you should start here, and take a trip back in time in the 30's. You will understand why Bucharest was called Little Paris. You can also have a vintage photo session there

(Translated by Google) An old Bucharest apartment, beautifully renovated, every salon, or office, the room trying to recreate the atmosphere of old Bucharest, bohemian. I would have liked to listen or live the stories of every thing in the house. You can schedule for one hour of photo and the albums are great. He wrote that tea could be served, but I did not realize how it had to be done. It is not based on a ticket, but on a donation basis. Congratulations to the owner! (Original) Un apartament din vechiul București, frumos renovat, fiecare salon, sau birou, camera încercând sa recreeze atmosfera vechiului București, boem. Mi-ar fi plăcut sa ascult sau sa trăiesc poveștile fiecărui lucru din casa. Te poți programa pentru o ora de fotografie și albumele sunt superbe. Scria ca se poate servi și ceaiul, dar nu mi-am dat seama cum trebuia procedat. Nu este pe baza de bilet, ci pe baza de donație. Felicitări proprietarului!

Very nice kind guy who works there! He speaks about the museum and will tell you about the style and some of the history. It's an experience both socially and visually. 10/10 it's one of my favourite museums in București. However.....it is a very small museum. But definitely worth the 20 lei, and photos are allowed and encouraged, as well as taking videos. The museum is in a nice location too, Centrul Vechi.

If You wish to go back in time almost to the 1920's I would highly recommend this Museum!! It's totally worth it! You could easily escape in time!

Walking in Bucharest you can see only the facade of old buildings but visiting this Museum i could finally see the life behind those massive old walls. “Micul Paris” is a great place to go back in the 20’s and see how people would decorate and organize their home. The man who welcomes you is very nice and you can also take pictures in vintage costumes. Go there, it’s a great experience.

(Translated by Google) I visited this Museum of Little Paris. I was impressed because I did not imagine that there was such a place in the heart of the Old Center. It's an atmosphere from another century. Both the pieces of furniture, the decorations of the salons carefully assembled, the clothes, but also the vintage photos, leave you with the feeling that you want to come again to see them. I recommend a visit. It's a "must see" (Original) Am vizitat acest Muzeu al Micului Paris. Am ramas impresionata pentru ca nu imi imaginam ca exista un astfel de loc in inima Centrului Vechi. Este o atmosfera din alt veac. Atat piesele de mobilier, decoratiile saloanelor adunate cu multa migala, piesele de imbracaminte, dar si fotografiile vintage, te lasa cu senzatia ca vrei sa mai vii inca o data sa le vezi. Recomand o vizita. Este "a must see"

Great experience. A culturally well rounded guide - in his 60s. A must-visit place! Highly reccommended!

Time machine to Belle Epoque and the perfect place to have a vintage professional photo session😍

(Translated by Google) Super experience! It is worth visiting this "Little Paris". Very pleasant atmosphere. Congratulations on the idea! (Original) Super experienta! Merita vizitat acest "Micuț Paris". Atmosfera foarte placuta. Felicitări pentru idee!

The great museum. It's interesting designed, I wanted to look at the details. However, it's not very French museum, because there was a room dedicated to Romanian and Turkish culture also. But I got the knowledge why it's French on the Romania area.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely not to be missed is this splendid museum in the heart of Bucharest. Entering what is actually an apartment you will be thrown into the past. You'll find yourself in a beautifully rebuilt 1920s house. You can peek anywhere in the bathroom !! Very rich in furnishing clothing items but all around !! A pearl set in a small Street !! (Original) Assolutamente Assolutamente da non perdere questo splendido museo nel cuore di Bucarest. Entrando il quello che di fatto è un appartamento verrete sbalzati nel passato . Vi ritroverete in una casa degli anni 20 splendidamente ricostruita. Potrete sbirciare ovunque anche nel bagno!! Ricchissimo di oggetti vestiti arredo tutto ma di tutto !! Una perla incastonata in una piccola Via !!

Amazing hidden gem. You must visit this place when in Bucharest

The place is arguably a private-owned museum that you need to pay a fee of 35Lei to enter and that’s in the high price range considering that it’s not a famous attraction destination in Bucharest. I don’t think that I will pay that much money for visiting that place. Maybe I will if I find fount that there’s something worth paying that money for.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful location, worth visiting, access is free but you can support with any amount you want, congratulations for the idea! (Original) O locatie frumoasa, merita vizitata, accesul este gratuit insa se poate spriji cu orice suma se doreste, felicitari pt idee!

You've got to check out the Micul Paris Museum in Bucharest! It's an absolute treasure that takes you back to the time when Bucharest was fondly called "Little Paris." Trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss. As soon as you step inside, you'll be blown away by the attention to detail. The museum beautifully recreates the atmosphere of late 19th, early 20th-century Bucharest, with stunning architecture, period furnishings, and historical artifacts that tell the story of the city's French-inspired heritage. What really sets this place apart is how interactive it is. You can try on vintage clothes, learn some fancy dance moves, and even try your hand at cooking traditional Romanian and French dishes. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable—they'll make you feel like you've stepped into a time machine. Oh, and the cafes! They've recreated these charming Parisian cafe where you can sip on coffee. It's like being transported to a different world. If you're a history buff, an architecture enthusiast, or just someone who loves discovering unique experiences, the Micul Paris Museum is an absolute must-visit. It's a hidden gem that reveals the secrets and treasures of Bucharest's past. Trust me, you won't regret it! PS: It's also an amazing romantic expereince for a couple that can rent it for a special night out, marriage proposals or any kind of wonderful atmoshpere. I love the owners and the energy of the place. You can't miss with this one.

This is a lovely "boutique museum" with only a few rooms, but lovely done with an overwhelming number of period items collected from former aristocratic and bourgeois houses, from throughout Bucharest. Make sure to book in advance the painted photography! It's worth it!

A place created by passion. A place full of history and beauty. A wonderful place, the existence of which I did not know, which produced a huge surprise for me and to which I will direct you to visit. Thousands and thousands of small pieces of history, of creation, of aesthetics. Congratulations to the young Brailean who lovingly continues his uncle's passion.

Very interesting museum. Complete introduction with excellent translation, the owner very friendly and who did not hesitate to share his passion as well as stories/anecdotes. We thank him for this very warm welcome. Two French people.

We found the museum by walking in the old town and it was a very special experience. The interiors are amazing, there are a lot of unique and beautiful items showing a glimpse of Bucharest's glorious times. Totally recommend it, 40 minutes to an hour being enough to enjoy the experience.

Great little museum of the times when Bucharest was called the "Little Paris"

Found this gem completely by chance whilst walking through old town and it was such a lovely experience. The man working - didnt get his name - told us all about Romanian culture and history. Showing us all the french and orient histories and architecture and the history of the museum itself. It was incredible would definitely recommend a visit, all the antiques are so fascinating and this place is such an insight into bucharest history.

Great place to see and feel the atmosphere of Bucharest in the times between World Wars. Worth visiting.

Very beautiful and classy! so much taste! keep doing the good work! It was awersome! I hope this amazing place will be here forever, we want to see it again in 2 years when we come back!

Very interesting museum, with the atmosphere of XIX century. You can stay here and have also a tea or coffee!

Great little place in the centre of Bucharest, a pleasure to visit it it.

Such a small, but very beautiful and interesting museum to visit. The tickets are not expensive at all. The guide is such a nice guy and very knowledgeable. I really enjoyed visiting the "Micul Paris" museum. It 's worth visiting this museum.

Beautiful place

A beautiful apartment-sized museum preserving and celebrating Bucharest's Belle Epoque. The rooms are gorgeous (including the bathroom) and filled with hundreds of objects from around the late 1800s and early 1900s.

One of the most beautiful places in Bucharest, I really, really recommend it to everyone.

(Translated by Google) A good idea, the place is interesting. I liked it until I was apostrophic that I used the bathroom. The tone with which the person from there spoke to me, the strong beats in the door gave me a bitter taste. There was no announcement that he knew he was not for clients. I would have given him 10 lei donation, I would take a tea but I did not need anything. I left him 5 lei and I left. I do not come back. Post edit: Your colleague told me very clearly: the toilet is not for the public. I work in tourism and I am careful about the details. I'm sorry, nothing explains that gesture. When I saw the street announcement, I'm glad we found a new target for tourists when they arrive in Bucharest ... Thanks for your understanding, the fact that you reviewed the response convinced me to modify the initial evaluation. Good luck! (Original) O idee buna, locul este interesant. Mi-a placut pana in momentul in care am fost apostrofata ca am folosit grupul sanitar. Tonul cu care mi-a vorbit persoana de acolo, bataile puternice in usa mi-au lasat un gust amar. Nu era niciun anunt sa fi stiut ca nu e pentru clienți. As fi vrut sa ii las 10 lei donatie, sa mai iau un ceai dar nu mi-a mai trebuit nimic. I-am lasat 5 lei si am plecat. Eu una nu mai revin. Post edit: colegul dvs. mi-a spus foarte clar: toaleta nu este pentru public. Lucrez si eu in turism si sunt atenta la detalii. Imi pare rau, nimic nu explică gestul respectiv. Cand am vazut anuntul in strada ma bucuram ca am gasit un obiectiv nou petru turisti, când mai ajung in Bucuresti... Multumesc pentru intelegere, faptul ca ati revizuit raspunsul m-a convins sa modific evaluarea initiala. Mult succes in continuare!

Incredible place, full of old beautiful furniture which remain intact after so many years. The guide was very kind and explained to me and my friends about the history of the apartment and how the family used to live at the end of the 19th century, when Bucharest was so called “Little Paris”. Great experience, would love to go another time!

(Translated by Google) Very beautifully exposed !!! And kept in ok condition !!! Excellent restored, exhibits! 👏👏👏👏 (Original) Foarte frumos expuse !!! Și menținute într-o condiție ok !!! Restaurate excelent ,exponatele ! 👏👏👏👏

Incredible place showing how the life of a middle class looked liked in Bucharest during the midwar period. Price is very reasonable (10 Lei) and a very kind gentleman inside is always willing to tell you some nice stories about Romanian history and geography. Highly recommended, a real hidden gem.

(Translated by Google) I liked it, I was for two hours, as if teleported in the past, in the beautiful times full of romance of my city ... I will definitely return! And thank you very much to the host who accompanied us and told us interesting things! (Original) Mi-a placut mult, am fost pentru doua ore, parca teleportata in trecut, in vremurile frumoase pline de romantism ale orasului meu...voi reveni in mod sigur! Si multumesc mult gazdei care ne-a insotit si ne-a povestit lucruri interesante!

(Translated by Google) A very interesting museum that shows how the houses of Bucharest were between the two wars. (Original) Un museo muy interesante que muestra cómo eran las casas de Bucarest entre las dos guerras.

(Translated by Google) Very nice location, very friendly staff allowed us to take pictures as much as we wanted to collect items. Admission is free, but you can contribute with a small donation if you appreciate the work done and everything there. (Original) Foarte frumoasă locație, personalul foarte amabil ne-a lăsat să facem poze cat am vrut la obiectele de colecție. Intrarea este gratis, dar poti contribui cu o mica donație daca apreciezi munca depusă si tot ce este acolo.

It was a nice getaway, small apartment with nice old items, neat, it seems the owner loves it and takes care of it, he was very sweet and kind to us However, 30 lei per person, I consider too much for such a short trip. As well as accepting a discount only from Romanian students..

Extraordinary! Impressive! You go back in time! The guy who’s in charge of the exhibition is out of this world! He can speak to you about anything in three, four languages! Απίστευτος! I would go again. This time with a reservation in order to make a portrait with clothes of that time… (18th century or something else. I don’t know yet)

Fun little museum. Lots of trinkets and garderobe items from the "Little Paris" period of Bucharest, when we already got rid of the Ottoman souveranity and more cultural exchanges between Romanians and French people took place - while Paris served as a model regarding our city's architecture. The guide made us a brief presentation of the rooms we were about to see. Also talked about the origin of the "Little Paris" nickname. He said that Bucharest was the meeting point between Istanbul and Paris. After the Unification of the Romanian Principalities under Carol I, the middle class appears - the burgeoisie, a class between boyars and slaves. Now people can afford through their businesses and merchandise to be wealthier, have more exchanges with other countries and therefore afford to buy clothes they couldn't afford before, accesories and other items present in the museum's collection. The Ottoman room and the Parisian room were the most impressive for me. Lots of objects from the two different cultures. I enjoyed both of them, even if they are a little crowded. The tiles in the bathroom are made of cobalt. The guide said that the photos made at their photo cabin, which have a sepia effect, are the only one from Europe which are still manually painted after.

A dreamlike atmosphere, a journey through time with Dan who is ready to explain the history and items that are inside. I recommend the visit

Very cute little place with a very knowledgeable staff member who is happy to share information for free! Reasonably priced, as well.

Both informative and beautiful. This museum not only has lovely pieces and visuals to see but it encourages questions and discussion. Fascinating to get a glimpse into this period of Bucharest history—a must do in the city!

Knew the place years ago as a photo studio and this fall, walking round the Old Center of Bucharest I made this amazing discovery. I immediately walked in and up onto the 1st floor where a whole past epoch, La Belle Epoque, started unfolding before my eyes. The curator, a true gentleman in looks and manners, introduced me into the atmosphere offering a few guidelines. Afterwards I could enjoy the tour of this beehive sort of apartment by myself. Objects of all sorts - from pieces of furniture to personal items - delicately and finely displayed were filling the rooms offering the visitor a sensation of time travel in the most natural way. The quality of the articles the museum holds is exceptional in every way. Sincere congratulations to the artist, photographer and curator who gave life to what had been for years just an expression - Bucharest, the Little Paris.

I crossed the threshold with joy and curiosity to see a story about the world in which our ancestors lived in Little Paris. I was delighted by the warm welcome of the host who told us about the world of the early 19th century. An unforgettable visit! I am sending you the attached subject: the young student in vintage clothes https://youtu.be/u9g-ooZcZBw

Found this delightful, interesting but small museum in old town Bucharest. The curator had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Romania and it's history, and was eager to share it with us. He was so interesting and very engaging, so we were sad when he had to leave us to speak to some new visitors but that's another story...😉

(Translated by Google) Superb! (Original) Superb!

Lovely place filled with interesting items, the host is also a nice and interesting person, presented every detail of the museum.

(Translated by Google) If you want to go back in time, this is the perfect place! A beautiful location, it transmits your energy for a long time. (Original) Dacă doriți sa vă întoarceți în timp, aici este locul perfect ! O locație superba, îți transmite energia de demult.

The museum is small so it won't take a lot of your time. Totally worth it though! The staff had really interesting stories about Romanian history too.

It is a small and interesting museum. I loved it, from how was curated to the attention to details and variety of items. The guide and owner is very knowledgeable and fun to talk to. I highly recommend it and you are allowed to take photos too :)

(Translated by Google) Small, hidden on a street. Very nice! (Original) Mic, ascuns pe o straduta.Foarte frumos!

(Translated by Google) Superb. Dreamlike. I recommend !!! (Original) Superb. De vis. Recomand!!!

(Translated by Google) Superb location! Excellent atmosphere! A place to visit (Original) Superba locație! Excelenta atmosferă! Un loc ce trebuie vizitat

It is interesting to see but it does not take more than half an hour. To visit you have to pay about 1 euro per person. You can also pay for a photo shoot.

Cozy place with nice people.

(Translated by Google) An amazingly beautiful museum (Original) Un muzeu extraordinar de frumos

(Translated by Google) Super. We got many exciting information about Romania and Bucharest. (Original) Super. Vi fik mange spændende oplysninger om Rumænien og Bukarest.

Very beautiful place 😍 must visit when in Bucharest. Dan the person who hosts you is the most kind person you will meet and he will tell you lots of stories and he speaks lots of languages. Go enjoy it!

Stunning! I felt like a traveler in time. Everything is so perfect in the way they did.

A bit kitchy

It's a glorious old very large apartment stuffed full of vintage, old, interesting furniture and costumes and everyday objects... from a long time ago. The guy that was there doing all the tour guide stuff is one of those people that you very rarely meet that knows everything about all the things on display and the history behind them. The toilet was my favourite room - mind blown! You will see what I mean when you get there.

The museum itself is really nice and quite cute, some really interesting rooms and it gives you a good insight in middle class life of romanians throughout history. The real star of the show however is the man who runs it. He told us a lot about the history of Romania and its people. He then asked my girlfriend and I where we are from and told us history about OUR respective countries neither of us even knew about. Amazing experience, both entertaining and informative.

An amazing place, that is the essence of what Bucharest was and could be... a small city, but with a french twist. You have to see this place in order to understand how negative was the impact of the communist period and also the actual period. That place is made by some passionate, culture ministery has no involvment - why? - and these people do a great job.

Luxurious old pieces of furniture, clothes, accessories, in a lovely display. The best place of understanding life in the last century.

(Translated by Google) The charm of yesteryear in the old town of Bucharest. A place that is worth visiting. :) (Original) El encanto de antaño en el casco viejo de Bucarest. Un lugar que vale la pena visitar. :)

Extraordinary! A very little, apartment-sized museum, made with love, care, a wealth of knowledge and attention for detail. Every room tells a story of the so-called "Belle Epoque", with hundreds of objects that speak of a different way of life. The owner?/curator is a very nice, very knowledgeable man, it is a pleasure to hear him talk about times long past.

(Translated by Google) Too little for such a great title. Two stars for the owner's effort. (Original) Prea puțin pentru un titlu atât de mare . Două stele pentru efortul proprietarului .

What a hidden treasure! If you're into aesthetics, this please is a must see..

Nice little house

An incredible collection and design of the rooms. Also 5 stars would be justified even just for the incredibly well informed and helpful curator.

(Translated by Google) A rich page from the history of Romania, Bucharest! People are passionate about what they do here and see! (Original) O pagină bogată din istoria României, a Bucureștiului! Oamenii sunt pasionați de ceea ce fac aici și se vede!

A great place to do a magical shift in time to Bucharest in the past! Dan was a gracious host with fascinating details and explanations, and the museum's meticulous details create an extraordinary atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I recommend this place in the Old town. The guy running the place was quite helpful and attentive whem visiting. We spent some time chatting about Romania history and found out things and events of the country that I didnt know. The muaeum is intersting and totally happy we visited it.

(Translated by Google) I stepped into this location with some restraint, but when I saw and heard so many things I was very impressed. Thanks to the guide for the beautiful description of the exhibits, the history gathered in this wonderful place, I lead you and make you feel like you live in those years .A beautiful place worth seeing by many people. Too bad it's not enough to visit. (Original) Am pășit in aceasta locație cu oarecare reținere,dar când am văzut și auzit atâtea lucruri am rămas foarte impresionata.Mulțumesc ghidului pentru frumoasa descriere a exponatelor, al istoriei adunate in acest loc mirific,te conduc și te fac sa simți ca trăiești in acei ani.Un loc frumos ce merita văzut de mai mulți oameni.Pacat ca nu este îndeajuns de vizitat.

Very nice place and cheap (30 lei) worth a visit. The friendly and knowledgeable tour guide even played music from the gramophone!

A wonderful experience, the boy who welcomed us as soon as we entered, was super kind and told us everything in detail, after a while we agreed that he also spoke Italian, so he caught up with my husband who didn't understand Romanian much. Beautiful place that deserves to be seen, the atmosphere of times gone by, the decoration, the wardrobe. I really recommend it!
