The museum dedicated to the writer Mihail Sadoveanu was established between 1964 and 1966 by the Museum of Romanian Literature in Bucharest, with the support of the Sadoveanu family. It was inaugurated in 1966 and passed to the Neamţ Museum Complex administration in 1970. It returned into the administration of the Museum of Romanian Literature on the 1st of January 1994. The writer lived in the building of the present museum between 1944 and 1961, as it used to be his summer house. The building was built in 1937 by Metropolitan Visarion Puiu to be a bishop’s palace. It became a guest house, then offered to the writer Mihail Sadoveanu in 1944 and given to him for life in 1949. The ...house was donated to the state to be used as a museum for an unspecified period. It was restored between 1964 and 1966. The museum has preserved the historical atmosphere. The exhibits include memorial objects: the portraits of the writer's parents, a portrait and bust of the writer, an icon from the 18th century, Florentine table, ivory chess set, piano, samurai sword, hunting and fishing tools; books ("The Pink Library" - 75 volumes), 61 original first editions, historical documents volumes.
