"Romulus Cioflec" Memorial House was purchased in 1998, when the memorial house became the property of the Ministry of Culture and since then was administrated by the Museum of Eastern Carpathians. The memorial house was laid in a relatively short time, with different objects, which even if they did not belong to the writer, manage to re-build the atmosphere from the time Romulus Cioflec activated.^[2]
