The Village Museum of Cigánd revives the process of how the village became town in the 1920's. The Village Museum is the result of reconstruction. It was originally divided into a room, porch, chamber and was built in the 1900's. Because the yards were too small, the so-called long yards that connected many houses were formed in Cigánd.

The significant textile collection along with the tools and equipment of hemp procession is displayed in the backroom of the house. Most of the textiles have striped patterns, a characteristic pattern of the folk art of Cigánd from the second half of the 19th century until the 1920's. The new type of pleated and rose ornamented textile that became popular in the 1930's and 1040's also shown. From 1958 a domestic industry appeared and revived folk-art in Cigánd.
