Gyula Hincz (1904-1986), the Kossuth- and Munkácsy Prize awarded painter and graphic artist offered 107 of his works of art to the town of Vác in 1980. The parties agreed that a permanent exhibition would be set up and the collection will be maintained by the Pest County Museums Directorate.

The location for the display was decided to be at 16, Löwy Sándor (now Káptalan) Street 16 in a building for which the interior design was made by György Szrogh instructed by Hincz. The exhibition opened in 1983, organized by Katalin Rényi. Following further donations by Hincz, the number of items in the collection numbered147.
After the death of Gyula Hincz, his family, especially his nephew, gave more works of art to the collection, thus, by now the number of items in it reaches 1700, including paintings, graphics facsimile items and statuettes. The collection located int he Vak Bottyán (today: Tragor Ignác) Museum was attended by Ágnes Bakonyvári, then, from 1987 by József Bárdosi.
Due to the growing interest in the works of art by Gyula Hincz in the 2000s, beside the exhibition in Káptalan Street, the Haas Gallery in Budapest also showed them in 2005 under the titleDip from the WELL IX.: Hincz Gyula Memorial Exhibition and also at the Municipal Museum in Győri in 2007 entitled Works of Art by Gyula Hincz Between the WWI and WWII: Selection from Public and Private Collections. In 2006, in the Green Church in Vác József Bárdosi organized an exhibition selecting from soc-real works, entitled Then and Now: Attila Adorján and Gyula Hincz Exhibition .
In consequence the bad state of the building in Káptalan Street, the Tragor Ignác Museum had to close the Hincz Permanent exhibition in 2009. However, in 2010, as agreed upon by the Local Government of Vác and the owner of the Hincz Collection, the Vác Treasure Museal Collection took over the maintenance of the collection. The Treasure Collection is to present the collection at a permanent exhibition. The first stage of the series would be the exhibition Forgotten Graphics by Gyula Hincz .
