It is the very house where Vasile Alecsandri lived between 1867 and 1890. In 1885 Vasile Alecsandri donated to the Romanian Academy the house with all its goods, including the library and a few manuscripts. The Romanian Academy took possession of them in 1914 and named a custodian in charge with the entire stock. Until 1944 the house remained in the custody of the Academy, being opened to the public. During World War II the building underwent destructions, and needed overhaul repair. The house opened as a museum on the 9th of June 1957. The exhibition was reorganized in 1987, and after the restoration of 1991 - 1993, it reopened on the 19th of September 1993.
