Museum - Village Museum, Nagytarcsa

The peasant house built in the style of the great Hungarian plains was a part of the Tessedik Sámuel popular high school established in 1938. This institute was meant for the further education of the peasants. Besides maths, literature, geography and history, subjects like falk music (Bartók, Kodály), ethnography and popular arts were also taught. Because of the second World War the popular high school ceased to function.

Permanent exhibitions

Popular arts, ornamentation

Their embroidery technology was characterized by one colour. Only later did they stitch the red together with the blue. The ornamentation and arts of the local people were developed during the course of time. In the 1920'ies the sleeves of the shirts and the ironed kerchieves began to be ornamented by white hole embroidery.

Peasant working tools

Most of the instruments exhibited were made by the peasants themselves. The ornamentation and the forms prove the cleverness and artistic talent of the craftsmen.
