Weekend Sessions | Fusion Sessions

June 27-28 - National Museum of Art of Romania

We're celebrating the end of the season in the most iconic location in central Bucharest: the courtyard of the National Museum of Art of Romania, on Calea Victoriei. 


On June 27 and 28, the Royal Palace becomes the stage for the last Weekend Sessions of this summer — two afternoons with live music, guided tours, creative workshops, an ephemeral exhibition, and many other surprises for all ages. 


Fusion Sessions means jazz, surrealist pop, classical music, folk, and contemporary art, all in a single weekend, in the courtyard of a palace, close to beauty and culture.
