It is worth taking a walk a bit further away from the city to the Ethnographic Museum, which is in the so-called Lenk villa at Deák square, near an attractive park. The villa was built by Austrian architect Ottó Hoffer for the Lenk wine-seller family in 1890. In 1913 the building was donated to the museum.

The village Sukoró is situated on the north shore of the Lake Velence, among the hills of Velence. The village is rich in archaeological memories. Even ten years ago, the Village of Sukoró had streets where a lot of house had white walls and thatched roof. The Szilvás Lane beginning at the Episcopal Church that hosted the council of war before the battle of Pákozd in 1848 is just like that even nowadays.

György Ráth (1828–1905) was the first director general of the Museum of Applied Arts. Thanks to his art collection, he was considered one of the greatest private collectors of his day. When setting up his collection, Ráth – just like many of his contemporaries – was inspired by interior design.

The house built in 1903 was bought by the community in 1983 and opened as a museum. Its interior consists of the objects of the small peasant Braun family, representing the whole set of their tools.

In 1972 several citizens initiated the foundation of a group that's objective was to collect all objects possible from the village and establish a new local museum. The material collected was organized by the help of the employees of the Vajdaság Museum. The museum opened on 23 October 1972.

The crypt of the church in the main square of the town, formerly owned by the Dominican order, functioned as a place of burial between 1731-1801 but later it was bricked up. The entrance of the crypt was found again during the renovation work of the church in 1994. In the special climate, the corpses of the crypt had become mummified in a natural way in their coffins. The clothes, the burial accessories and the coffins had been preserved in an outstanding condition.

One of the most significant institutions of the museum is the science labor that performs the collecting, preserving, and displaying functions according to needs. The number of the pieces in the collection is over half a million. The storages hold the material of five fields of study: art history, ethnography, archeology, the history of modern age, and natural sciences. Among them, we can find objects, documents from the archives, photos, and sound material.
