The exhibition of history of Oroszlány's coal mining opened on the court and in the buildings of the former XVI. mine-shaft in Oroszlány, in connection with the 40th anniversary of starting mining, in 1979.

Mining Museum of Oroszlány as an institution functioned with the support and as part of the company mentioned above until 1994.

The existence of the memorial room is due to conscious collecting work of five years. I kept every documents, newspaper extracts, photos, invitations, books in connection with the writer even before 1990. I corresponded with his widow, lady Edith for 18 years. Unfortunately, I never met Fekete István in person as he died in the summer I was to meet him.

The symbol of Sopron is the Tűztorony (Fire Tower) Its bottom part was built upon Roman wall remains. From the 13th century it served as a gate tower of the town walls. It gained its present form (the baroque round balcony and its cap) after the town fire of 1976. Watchmen of the Tűztorony had a very important task: to watch the area and indicate possible fires by a lamp or by colourful flags. They also gave signals when strange soldiers or wine transporters were coming toward the town. They had to play some musical instruments, too, for at weddings, burrials or town celabrations they had to provide the music.

Our collection developed from the collection of the Antique Collection of the Reformed Collage. The Antique Collection is almost the same age as the Reformed Collage but the professional work of collecting material only began at the end of the 18th century.

Looking through the museum window we can see the beautiful landscape of the plains, which provides the natural setting to the exhibited materials.

The village museum found its home in the empty class rooms of the local school. The museum was founded in 1965. It was moved to its present place - Szabó Lajos street - in July 2000. In the past of the village is being recaled by a rich region history and ethnography collection, in two exhibition halls.
