It was in 1924 when the first thought of establishing a museum first occoured in our institute. The thought was followed by works. In 1931 a small exhibition was arranged at the College, but this was destroyed by the events of World War II. In 1954 a museum room was opened in the college, which was also shut down because of closing up some of the traditional branches. From 1963 negotiations were made again about forming a university museumtól. The Forestry and Timber Industry University was given an operation permit for the Collection of Forestry, Timber Industry and Geodesy.

The permanent exhibition presents the paintings and personal belongings of Vidovszky Béla (1883-1973), Corini Margit (1897-1982), the painter of Paris nights, the graphics of Illéssy Péter (1902-1962) grafikái, as well as the statues of Pásztor János (1881-1945) from the National Gallery. We also open four of five temporary exhibitions per year of the works of artists related to the region.

The dolls are dressed in their original cloths complemented with accessories. Original furnishing of kitchens, living rooms, and shops can also be seen. The museum provides opportunity to present the Hungarian and the European folk clothing of the dolls.

Largest part of the collection is formed by agricultural tools and devices, and folk items such as clothing, furniture and ceramics. As far as the extent is concerned, this collection is followed by that of industrial history items from the fields of carpenter, smith, shoemaker etc. professions.

In Jászberény, former chief town of the Jazygian - Cumanian District, arose the idea - among the first in the country - to establish a museum. Deputy mayor, Orban Sipos stressed the significance of the idea to place the Jazygian relics in a worthy place, so the succeeding generations may look back upon their history. The museum of the Jazygians, which had been placed in one of the Town Hall's courtyard buildings, opened its gates to the public on 24th December 1874.

The house with thached roofing and mud walls was built at the end of the 18th century. Its special roof structure was formes around 1870. On the fron wall there are two windows and a narrow clay gutter held by two beams.

The compilation was founded in 1962 when the Jászság was latched on to the national electric network. The first exhibition on local history was part of the program series organized to commemorate the event.
