Ceausescu lives

It’s true, he does. And he’s well at home in the house he built for himself and his posse, but which he called The People’s House (aka Casa Poporului, Palace of the Parliament). You should visit and see for yourself sometimes, as guided tours are available.
Casa Poporului is a sensitive, controversial, mythical subject, as well as a catalyst for heated debates (Romanian only), mainly due to the idea of having the National Museum of Contemporary Art inside of it. Aside from paintings and photographs, the museum is rich in video and sound galleries, computerized archives and documentaries, all nestled in dark or brightly lit rooms. Some, however, think that hosting bits and interpretations of Ceausescu’s monstrous legacy is, mildly put, a slap in the face.
Some others, on the other hand, have pumped some optimism and fresh air into it, and music events (Romanian excerpt from Evenimentul Zilei) have taken place at MNAC with some regularity. Check out the Events section on the MNAC website and be updated on what’s coming up.
Events and artists who’ve performed at MNAC in the past are HEXSTATIC, Dj Tom Wilson, Terrains Fertiles in Bucharest , Vj's: Mi Ka, neuro_me, Raluca Teodoru, and more. The space is open, the elevator ride is eerie, the sound is pretty good, you get to be crammed like penguins if you want to get refreshments, but the crowd is hip and free, apparently careless that Ceausescu’s watching from the balcony.
MNAC
Address: Izvor St. 2-4, wing E4, Bucharest, Romania / Entrance from Calea 13 Septembrie
Open: Wednesday - Sunday 10 am - 6 pm
