The Memorial Museum of Csesztve is the only memorial place established for Madách. The writer of the Tragedy of man lived in the mansion house of the Nógrádian village between 1844 and 1853. A good number of his poems, letters and confessions were written from Csesztve. He spent the first happy years of his married life here after 1845. He took active part in the political life of the county in the last years of the reform era and in the war for independence in 1848/49

The situation was solved with the purchase of the Károlyi Palace (1928) where the Municipal Picture Gallery Budapest opened.

Since its establishment, the Museum of Literature has organised almost 500 exhibitions and issued more than 300 scholarly and popularising publications and exhibition catalogues. We hope that our work over the past fifty years has earned us a position in scientific life.

The museum serves as a regional and a College museum as well. The Debrecen College was established in 1538. This dual connection can be found in every sphere of its operation, whether it is the collection target or the permanent exhibitions.

The millennial town of Sopron has had centuries old connections with mining even before the opening of our museum. Mineral coal was first discovered in 1753 in the historical Hungary, in the woods around Sopron in the area, which is now called Brennbergbánya. Here the coal was started to be used for industrial purposes with very good results until 1951. In 1920, The School of Mining and Forestry that was transferred here from Selmecbánya according to the "Decision of Trianon" started to function in Sopron.
