In 1799 a Serbian vine grower dug a trench in the suburbs of Nagyszentmiklós. He discovered 23 pieces of priceless golden pots, with a total weight of approximately 10 kilograms.

The items reached Budapest via traders, where the man after whom Boráros Square was named, János Boráros, the city judge took care of compiling them. Due to the Emperor Franz who was considered a fan of antiques, the golden finds from Nagyszentmiklós finally ended up in Vienna, in the Imperial and Royal Antique Storage. Since the finders concealed the existence of the treasure, they did not receive any money from the chamber, so the growers wife, Ikonia repeatedly went to Vienna to beg for the "finder's reward". During Iconia's "honest" testimony it became clear that in addition to the golden pots accessories (earrings, broken pots) were also discovered, bout had been merged and jewellery was made of them.The treasure is held by the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. However, authentic copies owned by the Móra Ferenc Museum in Szeged are to be shown owns to the general public.

The exhibition Treasures - Secrets - Gold invites the visitors to have a look at the story of the finds at Nagyszentmiklós, in addition may learn about the mysteries of Avar and the Magyar treasures as well.
