The village of Elek had been populated before the Original Settlement. The first document it was mentioned in dated in 1232. During Ottoman Hungary, the village was depopulated. After the Ottoman left, just as it happened to a number of other habitats, Elek was methodically repopulated.

His house in Kisalag looked like a living museum with all the statues and pictures. He included annual rings, the pinny parts of trees. Since he respected the beauty of the tree, he did not use enamel or paint, even buffer. The chairs, table and wardrobe he himself carved are all on display.

Visitors can learn more about the raw materials of the glass, the melting oven, the glass-blower and other tools necessary to persue this profession. Rare pieces of he 19th and 20th century glasses are displayed.

The main idea of the exhibition was to embed the work of the scientist into the history of physics of the last century. The typical objects presenting the history of development lead the visitors through electricity, mechanics etc. Off course, the objects once owned by Jedlik are emphasized. István Jedlik took on the name Ányos after he was taken in by the order.

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.

A Bajor Szabadállam anyagi segítségével 1992-ben létesült a "Magyarországi Németek Háza." A két világháború között épült közép-paraszti portán a Völgységi Múzeum korabeli első szobát és gazdasági épületeket (istálló, csűr, góré) rendezett be - a helyi Német Ének-Zenei Egyesület közreműködésével. A kiállítás 1993-ban készült el.
