National Museum of Romanian Literature
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Bucharest, this museum feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the living room of Romanian literature itself. It’s a place that doesn't just display books but tells the intimate stories of the writers who penned them. You'll find yourself face-to-face with Mihai Eminescu's personal desk, see the very pens and spectacles that shaped national classics, and even read heartfelt letters that reveal the person behind the poet. It’s a deeply human experience for anyone who loves a good story.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is Mihai Eminescu's original furniture and manuscripts, alongside Ion Luca Caragiale's iconic pince-nez and Lucian Blaga's typewriter. Don't miss the carefully preserved personal libraries of major literary figures, where you can see their own notes scribbled in the margins.
Visitor Information
It's wonderfully central and easy to find. Just remember to check their website for opening times as they can be a bit specific, but it's well worth planning for.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a beautiful, classic Bucharest townhouse with high ceilings and creaky wood floors that add to its charming, almost homely atmosphere.
