Its collection perished in WWII, so the museum of today is not the heir or successor of the Árpád museum, it is only its spiritual heritage.

Attila József Museum

The original building proved too small for the permanently increasing materials.

Rétközi Museum

In the 14th and 15th centuries, Kisvárda was the property of the Várdai family, several of whose members held high religious and secular office. The town lay at the junction of roads linking Munkács, Beregszász, and Szatmár, by way of the Tisza bend, with Királyhelmec, Kassa, and the towns and mining centers of the Szepesség. These transportation links explain why Kisvárda served as an important commercial center.
