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.

Tokaj Museum has been operating as a region museum since 1962. The institute serves as the main scientific basis of many conferences held in the area. Its permanent exhibition was opened in 1985 in a renovated building that had been a Greek trading house before. The museum collects relics of regional history, ethnography and fine arts.
