Museum - Bereg Museum

Csiszár Árpád founded the Beregi Museum of Vásárosnamény in 1963. The collection is hosted by one of the nicest building of the town, the Máthé mansion in 13, Rákóczi Street from 1970.

Our collection is listed nationally and internationally due to its vernacular material of a few thousand pieces. The material includes embroidery, textile, cast irons and the objects representing the people's school of the area.

The visitors of our permanent exhibition may see the rich material showing the characteristics of our region.

The "Reverend" - Árpád Csiszár Memorial Room

The large reception hall leads to the room considering the life of the legendary Calvinist priest, the founder of the museum, Árpád Csiszár (1912-1989). Interesting, often edifying events are highlighted from the life of the priest who set an example with his life to future generations.

Works of Art Spectacular Collection - Ceramics collection

A variety of earthenware was necessary to have for every household in the past. As pottery craft was only there in our region until the 17th century, people had to purchase pottery at fairs. Potters from various towns brought their products to fairs in Namény where the fair-goers could select from a variety of pottery.
