The exhibition presents a remarkable collection never before seen in Hungary, recently discovered by researchers. The focal point of the exhibition is a series of photographs showcasing traditional Hungarian folk attire from various regions and settlements, originally displayed at the 1862 International Exhibition in London. Thought to have been lost, the photographs by János Tiedge have been loaned from the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

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.
