On Highway 7, half way between Velence és Kápolnásnyék a sign points towards the Vörösmarty Mihály Memorial Museum.

The writer of the Szózat (Hungarian national poem), the outstanding representative of the Hungarian romanticism lived in this house in 1801 and 1802. The memorial plaque placed on the side wall of the building is not correct. Vörösmarty was not born among these walls. He was more than a year old, when the family moved to Nyék. However, the memories of his childhood connects him here. When in 1837 János Garay published an acknowledgment and a poem about Nyék, and referred to this house as the place of birth of the poet, Vörösmarty did not protest. That is how a photograph of the house was printed on the front cover of the volume entitled "All works of Mihály Vörösmarty" in 1847.

There is a third house which used to give home to Vörösmarty. After the defeat of the war of independence Vörösmarty, together with his wife and children, found his home in a house kept up by the lower nobility. Neither this nor the house of birth stands today. However, the former farm manager home still stands today and has been serving as a museum since 1952.

The flat was rearranged for the 200th anniversary of t Vörösmarty's birthday. The exhibition recalls the atmosphere of the 19th century biedermeier.

The interiour of the rooms, the furniture and objects are similar to the ones used by Vörösmarty. The poet's writing table - with the manuscript of the Szózat on the top -, an inlaid chest of drwers and bowl adorned with flowers are items that originally belonged to the family. In the back of the bowl there is a writing that says the following: "This bowl used to serve in the household of the graet poet, Mihály Vörösmarty. When Vörösmarty got seriously ill and moved to Budapest, his wife sold various items such as this…"

The exhibition presents the life work cult of the poet and the Vörösmarty cult by the help of the most significant documents.
