The National Museum of Romanian Literature holds an authentic literary treasure trove consisting of manuscripts, old and rare books, historical-literary documents, personal objects and pieces of furniture that belonged to Romanian writers, visual art objects (paintings, graphics, sculpture), periodicals, photographs, audio-video recordings that give an overview of the depth and complexity of the entire art of the word in Romanian literature, placed in a national and universal context. Currently, the National Museum of Romanian Literature holds over 300,000 items, organized in about 300 collections, including manuscripts of most important writers, such as Mihai Eminescu, Vasile Alecsandri, Titu Maiorescu, I. L. Caragiale, Ion Creangă, Lucian Blaga, Ion Vinea and many others. The core exhibition of the National Museum of Romanian Literature is an approach through which the Museum has set its goal of repositioning an institution of national importance on the cultural, educational and tourist map of Bucharest, but also of the country.

The concept considered by the curators of the exhibition, the institution's museographers and specialized collaborators, leading cultural and literary personalities, architects and designers on the Museum's team, was based primarily on the principle of interactivity and surprise the visitor, regardless of age or the category of public in which it falls, with the aim of conveying a cultural and literary content appropriate to each case in each case. This content is clearly structured and coherent, and the exhibition is organized according to literary genres (ground floor - poetry; first floor - prose, essays, history and literary criticism; attic - drama). The chronology is traced within each literary genre through the proposed themes. Each room of the museum is now a concept in itself, and by going through all the rooms the visitor has access to and can interactively retrieve a unitary and complex exhibition discourse. The exhibition of the heritage is carried out traditionally, with the help of showcases and supports, but with modern means, with a unique design, but also with state-of-the-art technological means, combining this nowadays classicized museum discourse with an alternative virtual discourse and with the help of a computerized language that is extremely accessible to today's generations.
