The Museum of Pataj was established in 1959 by the history teacher Pastyik István who was the manager of the museum for the next 40 years. There were only a few objects in the collection at the beginning. Objects he collected were placed in one of the smaller rooms of the Primary School. However, a few month was enough and the room was too small for the collection. Then, the manager singled out a peasant house with a barn. The institution bought it and renovated it after which it opened in the summer of 1962. The first visitors were the composer Kodály and his entourage.

The house with thached roofing and mud walls was built at the end of the 18th century. Its special roof structure was formes around 1870. On the fron wall there are two windows and a narrow clay gutter held by two beams.
