"Cezar Petrescu" Memorial House

The Cezar Petrescu Memorial House is a museum in Bușteni dedicated to the Romanian writer Cezar Petrescu. The building preserves his personal belongings, handwritten manuscripts, and photographs that record his life and work.

The writer lived in this building from 1939 to 1961, after which it was turned into a museum in 1967. This transformation made the house a lasting memorial to his literary legacy and importance in Romanian culture.

The house shows how this writer shaped Romanian literature and what subjects he explored in his work. Visitors can observe the kinds of stories and ideas that mattered to him and how he viewed the world around him.

The museum is located in an easy-to-reach spot in town and can be explored on foot. It is a good idea to allow plenty of time to view the collections at a relaxed pace and get to know the spaces.

The author's writing desk still sits in its original place in the study room, surrounded by a collection of over 2000 books. This personal library reveals which works and ideas shaped the writer's own thinking and interests.
