Suțu Palace, a meticulously preserved palace dating back to the XVIIIth century, is a storied architectural treasure in the heart of Bucharest, enchanting visitors with its neoclassical façade and opulent interiors, offering a glimpse into the aristocratic past of Romania. Each meticulously restored room is a masterpiece bearing witness to the palace's significant role in the nation's cultural and political heritage. From its lavish salons to its impressive galleries, Suțu Palace is a living museum, inviting all who enter to embark on a captivating journey through the ages, celebrating the grandeur of a bygone era.

Irina Suțu, a prominent figure in Romanian high society during the XIXth century, breathed life into these splendid halls. Today, her legacy lives on in every meticulously preserved room, each telling a tale of her unwavering commitment. Through innovative technology, Madam Suțu welcomes the visitor with a cup of tea and the invitation to step into the past and engage with the spirit of Bucharest.

A mixed reality solution blends the past and present through a pseudo-holographic display; pre-edited video content magically materializes before the eyes of the visitor, thanks to the motion-sensitive sensors that respond to presence. While exploring this historic landmark and interacting with captivating characters from another time, visitors are encouraged to take "selfies" and share them across social networks.
