completed it with a significant extension
in 1809. The only naive art collection of
Hungary opened here in 1976. The museum
with a national collection interest guards the
works of classic and contemporary Hungarian
naive painters and sculptors. There are 2500
paintings and sculptures in the collection.
The most significant ones are the paintings

Elek Győri, János Gajdos and János Homa
and the sculptures of Imre Őrsi and Ferenc
Polyák. The permanent exhibition entitled
Region of source of modern art presents the
best works of the classical and contemporary
Hungarian naive artists arranged by the most
characteristic themes of the Hungarian naive
art: village festivals and workdays, natural

Opening hours: 1 March – 31 December
The Museum of the Calvinist Church District along
the River Danube is situated in the oldest school
of Kecskemét, the Calvinist Old College. It was
named after Pál Ráday (1677-1733), the confidential
secretary and then diplomat of Ferenc Rákóczi II, later
general superintendent of the Calvinist Church. The
rich collection of works of art and hungarica owned by
him and his son, Gedeon Ráday (1713-1792) created
the basis of the present museum. A permanent
exhibition guards their memory. The exhibition
entitled the Art of the Calvinist Church along
the river Danube introduces the object culture
of congregations, the fancy for decoration
coupled with puritanism and moderation from
the beginning of the Hungarian reformation
and the evolution of the Calvinist liturgy. Apart
from the exhibition deploying the rich material
of ecclesiastical art, the stone, mineral and
paleontological collection of András Fuxreiter,
the room furnished in the memory of the
excellent Calvinist bishop, László Ravasz and an

The Szórakaténusz Toy Museum and
Workshop, having a unique collection in
Hungary, was founded in 1981 to collect,
process and present the values, objects and
traditions of the Hungarian and universal toy
culture. The institution stores a collection of
thirty-thousand pieces: among them anklebone toys of ancient origin, sets of simple
folk toys, finely constructed toys of the civic
world produced in factories, unique works
of Hungarian applied art and the real book
rarities of children’s literature and conjuring.
The most valuable pieces of the museum
are displayed at the permanent exhibition
entitled Toys, secrets, wonders, pleasures
with specialities like the clay whistle collection
from the Carpathian Basin, market toys or
toys of Hungarian artist-craftsmen. Alongside
the toys of peoples, the toys of Hungarian
peasant and civic lifestyle are also presented
at the exhibition. The Szórakaténusz is not
only a museum, it is also a workshop, where
6
the museum pedagogical courses
closely related to the exhibitions
receive an ever larger emphasis beyond
the traditional craftsman workshops.

here. Visitors of the exhibition will not
familiarise with objects exhibited there in
the traditional way, instead, we become

The Bozsó Collection is situated in the Klapka
house, a baroque building constructed
in 1786. The painter János Bozsó (19221998), establishing the collection, was
an outstanding creator of the Hungarian
expressive painting. He organised his first
independent exhibition in 1957 in the József
Katona Museum of Kecskemét. He moved to
the Klapka house at this time. He discovered
the values of Hungarian ethnography, he
saved many old objects. He enlarged his art
collection from his paintings during decades
and he created the largest open private
collection of the region. Apart from the
outstanding relics of Hungarian ethnography
and European applied arts, we can also see
works of ecclesiastical art and the works of
János Bozsó at the exhibition preserving the
original setting.

Opening hours: 1 May – 31 October
The reconstruction of an Arpad Age village
was built in Tiszaalpár in 2000. The traces of
the original settlement were identified during
excavations carried out here in the 1960s. The
characteristic edifices and the open-air museum
presenting the conditions of life of the onetime settlement were prepared in line with the
results of the excavations. The objective of the
professional reconstruction is to help introduce
the conditions of a characteristic settlement
of the Arpad Age for the people of today in a
visual manner. The buildings were constructed
in line with the specifications of experimental
archaeology with traditional technology and
natural materials that had been accessible in
the era in question. The cave houses sunk in
the earth, the oven also dug in the earth nearby
the open-air fireplace, the well covered with
wicker-work, the cereal storage pits, the leanto roof protecting against rain and pounds and
sties for keeping animals can be seen on parcels

The exhibition introduces the decorative art and
garments of shepherds too. The museum is part

Opening hours:
The museum continuously operating since 1956
has borne the name of dr. László Tari dentist,
specialist of local history since 1988. The museum
has collections of archaeology, local history
and ethnography. The valuable archeological
collection was taken to one place, in the new
archeological repository finished in 2008. A short
history of the museum, the Avar double tomb
found in Felgyő and the results of the excavations
at the Ellés monastery are presented first at the
permanent exhibition that opened between 2000
and 2004.
The exhibition entitled Children of earth, sons
of bronze introduces the history, life, material
heritage, beliefs and burial customs of Bronze
Age people living on the territory of Csongrád
County, while the archeological material of the
early Arpad Age Ellés monastery gives an insight
into the ecclesiastical art of decades following the
foundation of the state.
The exhibition presenting the decades of
Csongrád paints a large scale view of the town’s
history, the conditions of life of different ages
and of urbanisation. The life of the people
is represented by the tools and photos of
crafts connected to water life, like fishing,
navigation, wood carving, milling, ground
works, and also maps showing the changes
of the area. Next, the visitor may familiarise
with the semi-external shepherding, farming,
three-layer cultivation in vineyards, major
market town crafts and costumes. The closing
part of the exhibition is the reconstruction of
a wedding dress from the 1880s.
Besides, visitors may see periodical
exhibitions in two halls.

The building turned into the museum is part of the
internal town section guarding the milieu of the onetime Csongrád, the so-called Inner Town, consisting
of a street section of 23 houses under protection of
historic monuments. The mansion selected for this
purpose in 1980 and furnished as a country house in
the middle of the decade can be found on the corner
of the Öregvár (Old Castle) street and the Gyökér
(Root) street. Dwellers of the old-time Inner Town were
fishermen, shipwrights, shipmen and ground workers,
the environment guards their lifestyle and means. The
mud wall house had a so-called plank ridge of roof with
vertical joint, the building material of which was the
pine-wood drifted down the Tisza, and local craftsmen,
shipwrights and timbermen made nicely elaborated
and decorated roof-timbers out of it. The house consists
of two parts. The “old house” in the rear had been built
earlier. Its kitchen with a free chimney set up for baking
bread and the room with painted furniture evokes the
“interior design” of the turn of the century. The “large
house” with two small windows overlooking the street
on the other hand shows the furnishing of the 1930s.

Opening hours:
Before electric lighting became widespread,
making photos was only possible in natural light.
Special studios were constructed for the utilisation
of sunlight. Although such photographer’s studios
operated in many places at the beginning of the
20th century, only few of them have survived until
today. One of them is in Szentes, and as such, it
is an industrial historical monument listed on
a national level. The one-time owner, János
Fridrich was not only a sharp-sighted and devoted
photographer, but also an eminent patron of arts,
a friend of the painters József Koszta and János
Tornyai. His legacy of photos is one of the most
important sources of local history. The studio – as
the last glass roofed studio of the country in its
original condition – was renovated in 1997, and
an industrial historical exhibition was opened
in it, preserving the original furnishing. Among
the exhibited objects, cameras, copy machines,
enlargers, lamps of different age and other
photographic accessories can be seen beside
laboratory instruments of the age.

opened in 2006 introduces the settlement
in the period of 1945-1990, especially
focusing on local events for the first time
on a national level, openly following the
professional concept of the House of Terror
Museum. Local requisites of the decades of
socialism, the various technical solutions and
often ironic installations of the 21st century
interactive exhibition arrangements create
a particular atmosphere, mostly depressing
but sometimes cheerful, excellently evoking
the spirit of the age in the 9 halls of the
800 m2 exhibition space. Creators of the
exhibition whirling like a film recall the daily
routine and holidays of the socialist era,
the destruction of homestead farming, the
operation of the enforcing bodies of the
power, the working and housing conditions,

The building, housing the valuable exhibition
of literary history of the Makó Museum, was
named after János Espersit lawyer, who is mainly
remembered by succeeding generations as the
generous supporter of culture and the mentor
of Attila József. Gyula Juhász, Ferenc Móra and
Emil Vén often visited the house, and the 18 year
old Attila József lived in one of the rooms of the
lower building from the beginning of 1923 until
autumn, who gained the defining inspirations
for his poetical departure in Makó, mainly from
János Espersit, always supporting him. Espersit
assisted during the publication of the first volume
of the poet, the Beggar of beauty appearing on
17 December 1922 with the recommendation
of Gyula Juhász. We can see the documents
concerning the activity of patronage of the circle
of intellectuals organised around Espersit, the
study of Espersit packed with books and paintings,
the material remains of the time Gyula Juhász
and Attila József spent in Makó, manuscripts and
photos in the rooms of the permanent exhibition.

The one-time palace of Iván Reök situated in the
centre of Szeged is one of the most significant
and best known historical buildings of the
town, an outstanding work of the Hungarian
secessionist architecture. The dwelling house
constructed in line with the plans of Ede Magyar
in 1906-1907 received a new function restored
in its original pomp 100 years later: a Regional
Combined Art Centre (with the Hungarian
abbreviation REÖK), that is a fine art exhibition
place with national significance was established
here in 2007. Although the REÖK does not have
a permanent exhibition, the standard of large
exhibitions returning year by year (Panel Picture
Painting Biennale, Szeged Summer Exhibition)
and of temporary exhibitions organised here
(Goya, Blake, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Andy
Warhol, Hundertwasser) point far beyond the
functions of a simple gallery, therefore we can
rightly classify the institution, following the
traditions of the best fine art collections and
exhibition spaces, among museums.

two-storey late baroque building of the
municipal council of the one-time Kikinda
district. The most interesting exhibits of
the museum are the original remainders of
the Kikinda mammoth that can be seen on
a 3D film with a full-scale copy. Apart from
this unique paleontological exhibit, the
museum also possesses a rich archaeological
collection, with especially significant Bronze
Age relics. The ethnographical collection
provides a full picture of the old lifestyle, in
the world of craftsmanship, agriculture and
domestic industry. The historical collection
is rich in documents concerning the past
of the town, but the flag originating from
the Kikinda district of 1867 is especially
significant. In the middle, we can see the
coat of arms of Kikinda, surrounded by the
coats of arms of settlements belonging to
the district. The portrait collection of the
representative of the Biedermeier area,
the painter Nikola Aleksić (1808-1873)
played an important role in the 19th

The neoclassical building housing one of the oldest
public collections of the country was built in 1833
originally for the magistracy of the town. The
significance of some of the works of art guarded
and exhibited here point far beyond their local
importance, for example the painting of Paja
Jovanović entitled Endless wondering, flags of
the Serbian Vojvodina from 1848, or the several
thousand year memories of the so-called starčevo
culture. The archaeological exhibition includes the
period from the early Stone Age until the late Middle
Ages and the time of the Turkish rule in the 16th17th centuries, while the ethnographical material
presents the most beautiful relics of the material
and intellectual culture of the region. The complete
armoury of a Turkish soldier is an especially nice
piece of the town history exhibition. We can mainly
see Biedermeier furniture and ornamental objects
at the art history permanent exhibition, but the 19th
century portraits, the works of art of the first half of
the 20th century and the works of the Pančevo 5 Fine
Art Group are also valuable.

thousand and five-hundred different objects
during the excavations carried out around
Bečej. The posters, postcards, pictures about
the buildings of the town, maps, coins, books,
newspapers, different kinds of brochures are
of great significance, but we can also find

archaeological, numismatic, ethnographical,
historical and fine art collections, and a
specialised library also operates in it. The

the prehistoric age, the antic world and the
Middle Ages. A sacrifice place of human shape
from the neolithic is an outstanding piece
among the relics left over from the prehistoric
age. Coins, jewels, floating lights, articles of

People’s Library in 1979. The historical part
of the museum unit contains more than 600
museum antiquities from Turkish times until
the end of the 20th century. The collections
presenting the settling in, the past of schools,
the history of Odžaci until the First World War
and the textile collection are the most significant
ones. The archaeological material is also rich and
significant, since the material remains of almost
every historical period from the early Neolithic
Age, through the Avar Age until the Middle Ages
are represented. The most significant Neolithic
Age archeological findings of international fame
were unearthed near Donja Branjevina, the
best-known article of which is the Red haired
goddess, uniting the symbols of male and
female fertility in herself and it is an excellent
example of the weltanschauung of the man
of the Neolithic Age. The valuable finding is
guarded in the safe of the Bank of Odžaci.

Kiskunhalas has gained worldwide reputation
with the “Halas” lace produced here. The
handicraftsman’s product under trademark
protection since 1935, prepared with a unique
technology is produced in line with the original
pattern book even today. The Lace House, the
workshop of lace-maker women was founded in
1935, and the museum serving as the exhibition
space for the most beautiful, most extraordinary
pieces was also installed here. First the „Halas”
lace gained terrain in the form of purl, women’s
collars, handkerchiefs, shawl decorations, jabots,
fans, underlay, then after the world war larger
and smaller table cloths, lace pictures and coats
of arms were typically produced, many of them
as diplomatic presents. A large and spectacular
collection is exhibited in the museum from the
early drawings, through the oldest coloured
laces made of silk threads and pieces that won
grand prizes at world exhibitions to the so called

Hajósi Barokk Kastély
The 18th century baroque castle of the archbishops
of Kalocsa is one of the most important buildings of
the Great Plain concerning its significance in history
of architecture, art and culture. The castle, having
a characteristic overall picture with its four corner
turrets, is once again in full bloom of its original
beauty following its reconstruction in 2010. Its park
renewed in baroque style is a touristic attraction
in itself. The imposing halls of the building, like the
main hall furnished with aristocratic sumptuousness
and the rooms of the archiepiscopal suit truly
display the living conditions of ecclesiastical high
dignities of the 18th-19th centuries. Beside the castle
interiors, a separate exhibition presents the culture
of aristocratic hunting, game husbandry carried out
on the territory of the archbishopric, religiousness
of the people concerning the saint parish feasts
of Hajós and the history of the sand ridge winegrowing and viticulture. The secret tunnel is an
interesting sight, which is in fact the well house
unearthed under the baroque age subsidiary
building and the underground passage leading to it.

the field of interest of the museum named after
the excellent ethnographer covers the relics of
the wider region, the Sárköz of Kalocsa. The most
valuable part of its significant ethnographical
collection is the textile collection containing
embroidery and costumes of Kalocsa, and the
sample collection on the one-time Folk Art and
Home-craft Co-operative also enriches the material
of the museum. The permanent exhibition entitled
Peoples, lifestyles and traditions in the Sárköz of
Kalocsa deals with the 18th-20th century life and
culture of the ethnic groups of the territory from
the point of view of history and ethnography.
The exhibition follows primarily the evolution of
the peasant lifestyle and the fate of the system
of traditions of the pota ethnic group through
spectacular objects and interiors. Beside the overall

The collection, guarding the invaluable religious
treasures of the Archiepiscopacy of Kalocsa,
established by abbot Asztrik who brought the
Saint Crown to Hungary, called the Archiepiscopal
Treasury, was set up in the one-time house of
the historian and canon István Katona in 2002.
The museum, also exhibiting the most valuable
objects of the collection, so far sealed off from the
public, was established here. The ecclesiastical
and fine art works presented in the framework of
the permanent exhibition lead visitors along the
thousand years’ history of the Archiepiscopacy of
Kalocsa; the oldest one of them: the archiepiscopal
tomb relics from the beginning of the 12th century
and the pontifical insignia originating from the
chest tomb of archbishop Saul. The most precious
pieces of the exhibition are the chasuble made
around 1450, the 16th century Saint Anne reliquary
and the Saint Stephen reliquary bust prepared for
the millennium exhibition of 1896. Apart from
the treasury, we can also visit the István Katona

Only a few of the significant codices and incunabula
of medieval archbishops of Kalocsa have survived
the Turkish destruction. For this reason, the
collection had to be rebuilt from the beginning
of the 18th century, the present place of which
was established by Archbishop Ádám Patachich
in 1780 in the eastern wing of the archiepiscopal
palace. The baroque reading room named after
him, decorated with wooden panel pictures of
Maulbertsch and furnished with original furniture
is perhaps one of the most beautiful historical
libraries of Hungary. The library with 150 thousand
volumes today guards 64 medieval codices (among
them the Saint Fulgentius Codex from 1040, or one
of the eight Aristotle Codices of the world from
the 13th century) and 510 incunabula. The most
valuable and most special books can be seen in
the display cases of the Patachich hall, like the own
bible of Luther or the early pieces of Hungarian
book publishing: the works of Pelbárt Temesvári
(1509), Gáspár Heltai (1575), Miklós Telegdi (1577)
and the first publication of the Vizsoly Bible (1590).

The birthplace of Sándor Petőfi in Kiskőrös, the
best known Hungarian poet on an international
level, has been a museum since 1880. After
several renovations, the simple peasant house
constructed around 1790 expresses the age of
the poet in its present state the best. We can
find several original family relics among the
furniture. A memorial museum was erected on
the parcel near the house of birth in 1998. We
can see the Statue Park of Translators and the
memorial wall of the Arad martyrs between the
two buildings. One of the thematic exhibitions
of the memorial house introduces the oeuvre
of the poet in a modern way, with the help of
traditional and multimedia tools providing
acoustic and visual adventures, while another
exhibition discloses the history of the Petőfi
cult to the visitors. We can find fine art works
in the gallery upstairs connected to the life and
oeuvre of the poet, and apart from this, we can
also visit an exhibition of local history, flashing

space was established. Altogether several hundred
different machines and articles of personal use
connected to road construction can be found
here. The inner permanent exhibition presents
the history of road and bridge construction
from ancient times until today. The exhibition is
made more interesting by spectacular interiors,
interactive elements and original vehicles, we can
see the old tools and utensils of road constructions;
it is also possible to try out several of them. We
can visit an open-air exhibition in the one and a
half hectare park and the Bridge museum within
it, selecting from the relics of Hungarian bridge
construction. There is also a machine exhibition,
and we can see the most significant road-roller
collection of Europe there, and a precious piece,
the steamroller “Józsi” still in good working order.
