On 29th June 1995 Endre Gyula county bishop opened the Diocesan Museum and Treasury in one of the wings of the Episcopal Palace.

When the arrangement of the permanent exhibition was made, the materials were collected from the parish churches of Csongrád and Békés counties. The exhibition represents the development of the ecclesian art tools and objects.

Visitors will see a unique collectuion in the hall. These objects were taken off from their original environment. They used to belong to the every day religious life of the believers, and still reflect the moral demand and obligation of those making and using them.

According to their function the items can be divided into two groups. Some of them were used during the every day ceremomies, such as cups, wafer holders, eucharist, etc.

The items of the second group served for the ornamentation of the inside of the churches. The chasubles and other embroidered textiles also belong to this seond collection.
