The Medgyessy Ferenc Memorial Museum is located in the beginning of the Péterfia Street in downtown Debrecen, not far from the place where the artist lives. The building we hold the exhibition is very similar in looks to the home of the artist. The oldest part of the building was constructed in the middle of the 18th century.

After it was rebuilt several times, it still showed the signs of a typical civic home in Debrecen. The town of Debrecen received the legacy of Medgyessy Ferenc after his widow died, in 1977. The first permanent exhibition opened in 1982.
