It is a listed monument, holds 4.6 on Google from more than 500 reviews and is considered the oldest house in town still standing intact.
About the place
The house was built around 1750 by a merchant family and has four rooms, a hall, a veranda (foișor) and a cellar. Anton Pann, a teacher of church music at the Râmnic Seminary, rented it in two periods, in the 1820s and 1830s. In 1982 the house was moved on rails more than 37 metres, under engineer Eugeniu Iordăchescu, to save it from demolition.
The exhibition recreates a 19th-century market-town interior, with furniture, pewter and brass objects, portraits, instruments such as the cobza and ceteră, and Anton Pann's books, among them 'Povestea vorbei'. The museum has more than 10,000 visitors a year.
