The building that sheltered poet Mihai Eminescu when he travelled to Sibiu with Matei Pascaly' s theatrical troupe, is owned by the Metropolitan Seat of Transylvania. For a long time it functioned as official home. Later Metropolitan Bishop Antonie Plămădeală endeavoured to restore it and turned it into a museum of church icons and objects. The museum holds wooden and glass icons collections, a bell, religious artefacts (wooden and metal chalices, disk, wooden and metal crosses), the Bible, religious books in the Romanian and the Slavonic languages, and other artefacts.
