Lucian Blaga Memorial House

The family home of Lucian Blaga — poet, philosopher, playwright and prose writer — became a museum after 1995 when, on the centenary of the poet's birth, the Romanian state finally purchased the property with a view to integrating it into the tourist circuit and, at the same time, into the national heritage, where it had long awaited its place. The house was built in 1870 by the priest Simion Blaga, the grandfather of the poet Lucian Blaga. The collection presents manuscripts, old documents, correspondence, volumes signed by the poet, portraits, photographs, peasant and period furniture, as well as personal belongings — his hat, his overcoat and his student suitcase. Next to the old house, the barn has been converted into a modern building housing a small library, a hall for various activities and fully equipped accommodation for collaborators and participants in the events of the 'Lucian Blaga' Cultural Centre.
