The museum is a private initiative of the Western University "Vasile Goldiș", set in the building that hosted quite a while the newspaper "Românul", a building with a symbolic value for the community of Arad. The initiative was meant to challenge time, letting the great events that took place inside of it get to life, at the time when the strategy for the Great Unification was being planned. The idea of this permanent exhibition was to reveal the lifestyle of those who lived there and also to reveal the struggles that represented the cultural life of a newsroom that made history, the one of the '''Românul'' newspaper.
