Museum - Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County Museums Authority - János Damjanich Museum

The Municipal Museum of Szolnok was established in 1933. It moved to the building at Kossuth Square in 1952 into a building originally built as a block of flats but functioned as a Royal Hotel for some time. The complete reconstruction of the national building was done by 1996. The museum also won the title 'The Museum of the Year' the same year and later on in 2004.

Visiting the houses of our ancestors

Reconstruction of the House from the Bronze Age in Túrkeve-Terehalom

Through the archaeological relics of the county the exhibition demonstrates how the dwelling houses were changing during the centuries. The exhibition embraces the history of the county from the prehistoric age to the end of the Turkish era. It represents the changes made according to the lifestyles and dwelling-houses.

Town citizens in the early 20th century

By the turn of the century a typical civilian atmosphere was developed in Szolnok, which is - regardless of its colourful and versatile features - characterized by a special unity. This is demonstrated through the dwelling house bearing civilian-peasant features.

The exhibition of the Szolnok Artist Compound

At the exhibition in the Gallery we intend to show the role of the town, its importance and its place in Hungarian cultural life via artworks made at the colony of artists of Szolnok.
