New private museum in Bucharest recreates family life in communist Romania
Two young Romanians launched a small private museum in Bucharest, which helps visitors understand and experience family life in communist Romania.
Called Ferestroika, the project recreates, in a three-room apartment located in Bucharest's Militari neighborhood, the everyday life of a Romanian family during the last decade of the so-called Golden Age.
The small museum arranged there not only captures various aspects of life in Romania during the last decade of the communist regime, but also gives visitors the chance to discover, room by room, the real story of a family that actually lived there in the 80s. Visitors can also touch the exhibited objects and taste specific homemade snacks and beverages of that period.
In the future, in addition to the guided tours, the project will expand to organizing interactive history sessions for young people.
