The museum is also known as Cantacuzino Palace because it belonged to Grigore Cantacuzino, one of the richest men of the late 19th century – beginning of the 20th century. The palace, built between 1898 and 1900 after the drawings of I.D. Berindei, has a Rococo and neo-classic style which is embellished by Art-Nouveau elements.

The entrance, covered by an intricate roof and guarded by two lions is the main element of the façade.
After Grigore Cantacuzino’s death, the palace was inherited by his son who died in 1929, leaving thepalace to his wife. The last one married later George Enescu, the famous Romanian composer. He leaved in the small house behind the palace.
