The Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck Art Museum (Romanian: Muzeul de Artă Frederic Storck și Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck) is a modern art museum located in Bucharest, Romania, dedicated to the artists Frederic Storck and Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck.

The museum is located in the house designed by the artists with the help of architect Alexandru Clavel [ro] and constructed in 1912–1913. The artists donated their collection to the government which opened the museum in 1951.[1] Currently, the house belongs to the brothers Alvaro and Alexandru Botez, who have agreed to lend it to The Bucharest Municipality Museum in order for the art collection to be preserved.[2]

The museum presents works of artists of the Storck family: Karl Storck, Carol Storck, Frederic Storck, and Cecilia Cuţescu-Storck. It also includes objects of Medieval religious sculptures, as well as watercolours, coins, and medals by Carol Szathmari.[3]
