"Ion Minulescu and Claudia Millian" Memorial House
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined boulevard in Bucharest, this memorial house feels like stepping directly into the literary world of 1930s Romania. It was the home of the avant-garde poet Ion Minulescu and his wife, the novelist Claudia Millian, and its rooms are preserved with an almost palpable sense of their creative energy. You can almost hear the faint rustle of paper and imagine the lively intellectual salons that once filled these spaces. It's a wonderfully intimate glimpse into the lives of two pivotal figures in Romanian modernism.
Collection Highlights
The real treasures here are the personal artifacts: Minulescu's iconic pince-nez resting on a manuscript, Claudia's elegant writing desk, and original editions of their works like 'Romanțe pentru mai târziu' and 'Lui Don Juan în necaz'. The walls are adorned with fascinating photographs and art that paint a vivid picture of their era and circle.
Visitor Information
Finding it is part of the charm—look for the distinctive villa at number 19 on Profesor Doctor Gheorghe Marinescu Boulevard. Given it's a smaller house museum, it's always a good idea to check opening hours in advance before you make the trip.
Architecture & Building
The house itself is a beautiful example of a classic Bucharest interwar villa, with a charming, understated facade that perfectly suits its history as a private home for artists.
