The building that shelters the museum is a historical monument. The Bohus Castle was built in the Baroque style, in 1838 and belonged to the noble family with the same name. The permanent exhibition, ”Ioan Slavici” dedicated to the great Romanian writer (1848-1925) born in Șiria, was inaugurated in 1960. It shows moments from his childhood, the school years spent in Șiria, the school years in Arad, Timișoara, Budapesta and Vienna, but also the great literary activity, political and pedagogical that belonged to Ioan Slavici.
