Mihai Eminescu Museum in Iași, Literary museum in Copou Park, Iași, Romania.
The Mihai Eminescu Museum in Iași is a three-story building with exhibition halls devoted to three themes: destiny, art, and friendship. The rooms display original manuscripts, historical photographs, and personal objects belonging to the poet.
The museum was founded in 1989, one hundred years after the death of Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu, a central figure in Romanian literature. The opening marked a national recognition of his lasting contribution.
The museum displays artworks created by artists inspired by Eminescu's poetry and preserves translations of his texts in many languages. This collection shows how his words touched and influenced generations of people.
The building is located in Copou Park along Bulevardul Carol I and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as the park paths and interior stairs require some walking.
The building features two entrance towers symbolizing love and friendship, reflecting Eminescu's connections to Veronica Micle and Ion Creangă. This architectural symbolism makes the museum more than just a repository for his works.
