At the corner of Petőfi Sándor and Iskola streets is the most beautifully preserved example of the civic houses in the old Úri Street. It was built around 1830. In the cellar there exists an exhibition area and a lecture room. Péter Pál Ottokár's reconstructed medical surgery of the 1920s is displayed in the study. Apart from the contemporary furniture, the surgical instruments and the medical history collection of the old County Hospital are displayed here.

The first collections came to live in Csongrád from the middle of the 19th century. The valuable findings, objects, and books which were kept in the schools and several institutions were moved to the Town Museum that opened in October, 1956. The different collections of ethnography, local history, and archeology have 10-12 000 pieces each.

The house of Dániel Berzsenyi (1776-1836) in Nikla was built in 1811. Exhibitions recalling the memory of the classicist poet have been held there since 1954. The cottage is a national monument with a park under protection around it.

In 1999 the Herman Ottó Museum became the museum of the year in Hungary. The town council presented a Pro Urbe prize to the museum for its versatile and excellent professional activities. From 1997 the collection gives home to the Historico-cultural and Museological department of the University of Miskolc.

The Municipal Museum of Szolnok was established in 1933. It moved to the building at Kossuth Square in 1952 into a building originally built as a block of flats but functioned as a Royal Hotel for some time. The complete reconstruction of the national building was done by 1996. The museum also won the title 'The Museum of the Year' the same year and later on in 2004.

The Museum of Pataj was established in 1959 by the history teacher Pastyik István who was the manager of the museum for the next 40 years. There were only a few objects in the collection at the beginning. Objects he collected were placed in one of the smaller rooms of the Primary School. However, a few month was enough and the room was too small for the collection. Then, the manager singled out a peasant house with a barn. The institution bought it and renovated it after which it opened in the summer of 1962. The first visitors were the composer Kodály and his entourage.

One of the outstanding baroque buildings of Hungary is the Száraz-Rudnyánszky mansion, which bears the characteristics of the Grassalkovich type mansion houses. The building is divided by columns, pillars and chambers formed according to the demands of the age for rich light-shade effects.
