The permanent exhibition was modernized and reopened on July 19, 2012. Personal objects, books and manuscripts belonging to the family of the writer Alexandru Vlahuţă (1858 - 1919) are exhibited. The building is owned by the Agapia Monastery and was built in 1885 as a home for nuns by Alexandru Vlahuţă's older sister. The writer's mother also lived in this house, and Al. Vlahuţă often visited in the summer. The original house from 1885 had only 2 rooms (cells for the writer's sister and mother) and a porch. To this, in 1902, Vlahuţă added that “big hall” with a so-called glass wall, transforming the “big hall” into a literary... salon, which stretched along the entire length of the original house. Due to the sloping terrain, this "big hall" could not be suspended in the air, so below it, Vlahuţă, also built in 1902 on the occasion of the "big hall" 2 other rooms that can be seen very well in the attached photo. Friends such as the writers Caragiale, Delavrancea, Goga, Coşbuc often stopped here, such moments being immortalized in photographs, which are now on display. However, the museum can only be visited in the upstairs rooms (the literary lounge and the two bedrooms, former cells). Visitors can also see various works from the writer's work.
