The exhibition presents a remarkable collection never before seen in Hungary, recently discovered by researchers. The focal point of the exhibition is a series of photographs showcasing traditional Hungarian folk attire from various regions and settlements, originally displayed at the 1862 International Exhibition in London. Thought to have been lost, the photographs by János Tiedge have been loaned from the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

Gunpowder smoke among the stones of the fortress...

The outer and inner castle system was developed in the 1540s. The passage between them was the Dark Gate which is still visible today. The outer castle was destroyed in 1702, but the gate continued to be used and was only walled up at the beginning of the 19th century.

Bunjevci Region House

From the second half of the last century, the Bunjevci built the same type of houses as they did in the Hungarian Plain. The restored Bunyevác Tájház, or "Bunjevac House", is also a representative of this type of building. It consists of a kitchen, two bedrooms on each side of the kitchen, a stable and a pen. The walls are built from adobe building blocks; the roof is made of reeds.

Treasury of the St. Bertholome Church

One of the most beautiful baroque palaces of the city is located in the Inner City, built in 1784 by Pál Almásy, a local nobleman who played significant role in the city. In 1934 the building ‒ known by the locals as the Crown-House (in March 1806, during the Napoleon wars, the Holy Crown was moved to Gyöngyös, to be hidden in the Almásy Palace) ‒ was bought by the diocese of St. Bartholomew Church for 40 000 pengő, partly paid from public donation.

Region History Collection

Endevours to collect regional ethnographic materials were made as early as in the 1960'ies. However, because of lack of appropriate exhibition space these objects got lost or destroyed. In the 1980-ies a new eight-roomed school was built, so the late baroque building of the summer residency of the bishops - which was at the time used as a school - were thus released. The government gave supports for the renovation of the old rectory.

Ferenc Kubinyi Museum

István Koháry began renovating the outer walls and the castle building in 1960. The lord lieutenant János Forgách and his wife, Margit Cziráky bought back most of the estate from Koháry by 1739. In 1753 the youngest son of János Forgách, Zsigmong inherited the estate. The Szécsény Castle was rebuilt in the baroque style in 1750-1760, probably by Zsigmond.

King St. Stephen Museum - Medieval Ruin Garden - National Memorial Place

The basilica, the building of which was started by king Stephen, had been the most important and sanctified place of the medieval Hungarian government, right up to the Ottoman occupation (1543). Fifteen Hungarian kings had been crowned here (with King Stephan among them), and the crown, the royal treasury and archive were also kept here.

Local History Collection - Nagytevel

The population of Nagytevel in Ottoman Hungary was nearly destroyed. By 1578 Nagytevel was documented as a bleak. The village was unpopulated for nearly 100 years so organized settling of people became necessary. In 1718-18, the Cistercian Abbey in Zirc settled families in the region.
