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.

Ecclesiastic Art Collection of the Matthias Church of Buda Castle

After WWII, the church was slowly rebuilt. The vicar János Tóth founded the Collection of Ecclesiastic Art, the museum of the church in 1966. It was located in the chapels, side rooms, oratory and the gallery of the church. The institution has been the base of preserving the church. The dear objects of use became museum objects. However, at important festivities some of them are still used occasionally. The museum of the church received several objects in the past few years as donations but also bought some.

Rétközi Museum

In the 14th and 15th centuries, Kisvárda was the property of the Várdai family, several of whose members held high religious and secular office. The town lay at the junction of roads linking Munkács, Beregszász, and Szatmár, by way of the Tisza bend, with Királyhelmec, Kassa, and the towns and mining centers of the Szepesség. These transportation links explain why Kisvárda served as an important commercial center.

Village Museum

There were no buildings suitable for a museum in the village, so the Village Museum was opened in 1974 in a peasant house reconstructed by museum specialist with the financial support of Pest County Council.

Ányos Jedlik Memorialexhibition

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.
