When the visitor was approaching the town from the station, he could see the building of the synagogue. The Jewish population appeared in the middle of the 19th century in larger number. Soon it played an important role in the economic life of the town. It is not an accident that at the inauguration of the church in 1897 most of the important persons of the town were present. At the time the plot in the neighborhood, the location of the museum, was empty. Mór Wosinsky played an important role in the creation of the museum.

Back to the Past on Two Wheels As part of the project 'The Memory of Object, our 120-year-old institution was expanded by a new unit this year. We set up a Spectacle Collection in the basement of the museum, which with respect of the genre in is partly novelty, partly, however, is a return to the era when the founder of the museum, Wosinsky, lived whose first exhibitions could also be described as warehouse-like presentation.
