Description
Tudor Arghezi (21 May 1880 – 14 July 1967) was a Romanian writer, best known for his contribution to poetry and children's literature. Born Ion N. Theodorescu in Bucharest (where he also died), he explained that his pen name was related to Argesis, the Latin name for the Argeș River.
The house known as „Mărţişor” was built in the 1930s according to the poet's plans. Tudor Arghezi and his family moved here in 1930, while still under construction.
The communist regime nationalized it in 1948, however it was agreed that it should become a memorial house and museum after Arghezi's death. He and his wife were burried in the garden and from 1974 this is his memorial house. Having a total of 18 rooms, it's collection contains furniture, books, works of art, photographs, original documents by Tudor Arghezi. Annexed to the building is a small print shop with books, magazines and related works of Arghez his family and this house.
