The library of the town had been functioning in the museum building till 1997. In October 1997 the permanent exhibition entitled "To the memory of Kálmán Csohány".

In December 1997 we opened the permanent exhibition entitled "The history of the cistercian order". The monastery, the house of the schoolmaster, the glassworks and the smithery were revealed by dr. Ilona Valter, who also gave much assistance in the arrangement of the exhibitions.

Since 1998 a natural science exhibition and the "Pictures from the history of Pásztó" permanent exhibition has been seen. Our youngest permanent exhibition is that of the Csohány Gallery, which was opened in December 2001.

In 1999 the Ministry of National Cultural Heritage awarded the the Museum of the Year prize (placed third) to the Pásztó Museum.

Kálmán Csohány Gallery
A taste of the exhibition
The permanent exhibition of graphic artist Kálmán Csohány was opened in 2001 in a monument building built in the 1870'ies. Since 1990 the general public had been able to find 50 works of the master in two museum rooms. However, thanks to the opening of the galery, now we can see about 150 individual works of the master. Kálmán Csohány wrote about himself in his autobiography as follows. continue
Medieval vine production in the Mátra
A taste of the exhibition
In the cellar of the schoolmaster's house we can see an exhibition demonstrating the medieval vine cultivation. Vine growing and wine production was flourishing in the vicinity of the town, but a pestilence at the end of the 19th century put an end to it all. In the gothic cellar of the schoolmaster's house we can see all kinds of vine-growing instruments. continue
The Ruins of a Monastery of the Middle Ages
A taste of the exhibition
King Béla III. established a cistercian abbey in Pásztón in 1190. The cistercians took the buildings of the former benedictine abbey and in the first third of the 13th century they extended and reconstructed the sanctuary of the church. continue
