[EN]The “N. Simache” Museum of the Clock
This is an example where a remarkable building has housed an exceptional museum, unique in the country and among the very few throughout the world. The “Luca Elefterescu” House had been built for the former MP and prefect Luca Elefterescu in 1885 – 1895, being afterwards bought by the English oil magnate Masterson.
The house, built in Austrian neo – Gothic style, conceived for the corner of the street, calls the viewer’s attention to the extremely various relief of the facades, the dynamics of the adornments, the sumptuousness of the interiors.
The institution came into being due to the professor N. Simache’s efforts as a permanent exhibition, housed by one of the exposition halls of the Palace of Culture (1963). The professor’s concerning to enrich the collections and to obtain the necessary premises turned into a real obsession. In 1971 he finally succeeded in getting premises and engaged in the project of the organization of a museum that opened only a little time before his death.
This museum bears his name to honour his memory. The museum exhibits only a part of its very rich collections of more than 1000 pieces designed and made by well – known craftsmen from all over Europe in a very modern conception. The “Clock” Museum offers to the visitors’ real pieces of art, masterpieces of creativity and originality, which confers to the city a strong personality.

Program of the museum: Tueday - Sunday opened from 9.00 till 17.00. Monday closed
