The king Saint Stephen founded the diocese of Eger. We do not know the exact date, but we are positive that it existed in 1009 under the protection of the apostle Saint John and the evangelist John. The old center stood where the castle stands today, near Saint John Abbey. The oldest ecclesiastic building found there was built around the turn of the 10-11th centuries. It is probable that the third bishop of Eger, Buldus, who died when Saint Gellért did, was buried there.

A definitive role in the foundation of the museum was taken by Mrs. István Lapu who was collecting the objects of peasant interior, costume and farming for decades. Originally the house belonged to the rich peasant Szalai family. It got its present form at the beginning of the 20th century.

The founding of the Kalocsan bishopric is closely connected to the name of king St,. Stephan. Our apostolical king in his second decree stated that the bishops are responsible for finding the priests and the prayer-books necessary for the erected churches. Education and such other activities were to be carried out by the bishopric, which made the use of the books indispensable.

Our County House represent houses partitioned into several parts. The house was built from various materials, including sun-dried brick and stone, with a pitch roof.

Endevours to collect regional ethnographic materials were made as early as in the 1960'ies. However, because of lack of appropriate exhibition space these objects got lost or destroyed. In the 1980-ies a new eight-roomed school was built, so the late baroque building of the summer residency of the bishops - which was at the time used as a school - were thus released. The government gave supports for the renovation of the old rectory.

EMLÉKPONT (Remembrance Point) may be the first museum in Europe to utilize the history of a town, the reflections of the local people about their past, for displaying the Communist era between 1945 and 1990 - the period characterized by Soviet occupation and the single-party state.

The Museum of Hungarian Naive Artists opened in 1976 in Kecskemét. The museum presents the works of contemporary naive sculptors and painters.
