The museum complex comprises the Memorial House and the Memorial Museum. The Memorial House is sheltered in the only building that survived over time - the former summer kitchen and office of the priest and writer Iraclie Porumbescu, Ciprian’s father. The main house (the parish) burned during World War I. The construction, dating from the 19th century, underwent several refurbishments, but the original form remained. It comprises two rooms and an entrance hall. The exhibition reconstructs the home daily life of the Porumbescu family and includes furniture, photographs, Mărioara Porumbescu’s piano, scores, and family documents. The Memorial Museum was established in 1928 by P...rofessor Leca Morariu and Mărioara Porumbescu, the composer’s sister. First was located at Cernăuţi, from 1932 at Suceava, and from 1971 at Supca. It is sheltered in a 300 years old building that belonged to the boyar of the village, Dimitrie Costin. It was nationalised after World War II. It has six exhibition halls, two halls that shelter the ethnography storehouse and eight spare halls. Formerly it functioned as a gymnasium with a boarding-school. It was partially restored in the ‘80s. The exhibition comprises furniture, musical instruments, photographs, photocopies and scores. They illustrate the life and activity of the Romanian musician Ciprian Porumbescu (1853 - 1883), the activity of priest Iraclie Porumbescu, and the history of the Porumbescu museum.
