The House of Terror Museum, which opens on February 24th , 2002 at 5PM and is unique in its genre, wishes to erect a monument to the memory of those of our compatriots who were held captive, tortured and killed in this building, but apart from presenting the horrors in a digestible manner, it also wishes to make people understand that the sacrifice for freedom was not made in vain. From the fight against the two cruellest systems of the 20th century eventually the forces of freedom and independence came out victoriously.

The idea of opening a Local History Collection came in 1995 documented by Mr. József Kapás. Collecting of machines used by the ancestors of the village dwellers began around the village. The building to host the collection was provided by the self-government that also undertook the maintenance of the collection.

The idea of founding a stamp museum arose in the 1920's in the leaders of the Hungarian Post Office. The idea to let the audience see the collections of the philatelists came true ten years later. As the result of careful preparatory works, the Stamp Museum of the Hungarian Royal Post opened on 28, April, 1930 on the upper floor of the Post Palace under the address of 12, Krisztina Boulevard.

Visitors can sense the athmosphere of the original villages, as they walk up and down the streets and among the workshops, buildings and yards. Visitors can learn about crafts rare or completely forgotten by today. Traditional feasts, habits and foods of the village society are also represented.

In 1999 we broadened our programs by the Graphics Workshop of Győr, in 2000 the first creative house, in 2004 the second creative house. From 2006 we also make use of the building of the Synagogue together with the university.
