The exhibition discusses the history of the largest river in Hungary, from the Roman era to nowadays, with maps from various times. The significant eras of sailing on the river Danube, the history of permanent and temporary bridges and remembered via scale models. The visitors will also learn about the life and work of people involved in trades somewhat related to sailing. They can also put the scale model of a typical ship mill together themselves.

Thought provoking pageants direct the visitors' attention to dangers threatening the Danube, as well as the conscious co-existence with the river. A booklet that guides the visitors through the exhibition and a museum pedagogy exercise book were published to accompany the exhibition.

The exhibition is part of the project 'Treasures with no Boundaries', a Hungarian-Slovak Co-operation Program, supported by the European Regional Development Fund and the NKA. After it closes in June, the exhibition travels on to Visegrád and then, in the second part of the year, it will be shown in Slovakia.
