Construction of the building began in 1930 and was executed in interwar modernist style. The building, equipped with basement, ground floor, first floor and attic, closely followed construction plans of the architect Coloman Halasz. This museum was built at the initiative of the brother of journalist, poet, essayist, university teacher, diplomat, etc. Stefan Baciu.

The museum has a collection including works quite generous and decorative art, a huge library with 3,700 volumes written in different languages, as well as numerous documents and manuscripts of the entire family Baciu. This library fascinates both by extremely large number (about 1900) of journals and books, but also by hosting the first plaques windows published poet Stefan Baciu in Romania.
