Thanks to her growing sense of nationhood and her developing middle class, during the course of the nineteenth century Hungary saw the creation of several museums. First among these new institutions was the National Museum. A museum dedicated solely to the history of Budapest came into existence only toward the end of the last century. Its core collection consisted of finds from the building sites, from archaeological excavations, and earlier collections which help shed light on of Budapest's history.

The predecessor in title of the Customs and Excise Guard Museum opened in 1930 at the Fiume Street Barracks of the Hungarian Royal Excise Guard. The objective of the founder, the controller Béla Bitterman, was to save objects that showed the history and development of the excise service for the posterity, as well as providing a large material on enquiries related to revenue proceedings for the officers to learn.

Géza Gorka played a pioneering role in the renewal of Hungarian ceramic art. Through his activity Hungarian ceramics rose to an European level and has become known all over the world. The centre of his art is nature. He applied the reminiscences of Hanán (anabaptist handicraftsmens') ceramics. He also experimented with new methods of the 20th century. He followed the most ancient, functional directions of ceramics. He regarded the characteristics of the materials as the most important factor of his work.

In the 18th century buildings for industrial purposes were lined up along the valley of Tettye stream. The Tanner House, which shows "The history of Pécs between 1686 and 1948" is one of the finest among them. There are two interiors on the first floor; a biedermeier and a hundred years old style sitting-room.

The 'Hegyvidék Gallery' comes up with a new fine- and applied art exhibition related to the 12th district every 4-6 weeks.

The Kner Printing Museum has been operating since 1970 in the former house of Imre Kner. The house was built in 1925, according to the sketches of the arhitect and graphic Lajos Kozma, in popular baroque style. The exhibition of the museum show the works of the members of Kner family and the history of the Kner press from its opening of 1882 up to our days.

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.
