Sixty pictures show the 125-year history of national police at the exhibition open from January 2007 organized with the help of National Cultural Found. The oldest photos, the so-called 'imprisoning photos' were taken in the 1880's in the studio of a photographer. On the back, the name of the suspect and his 'profession' was written eg. Galambos József, pickpocket, (1890), a man nicknamed 'Six', the murderer, Ullman Adolf, traveling pickpocket (1887) etc.

There are also pictures of frauds, counterfeiters, embezzlers etc. Pictures of those who were hung had a green cross put on. A photography apparatus made up of a large camera with glass negative and a swivel chair operated with a remote control is owned by the museum.

The building of the police headquarter of the time where 17 rooms were occupied by the investigators is also recorded. Interesting documents were found from the beginning of the 20th century. An album explained the technique of hanging illustrated with pictures. The visitors can witness the last minutes of Kármán Mátyás who was hung on 31 July 1903. The captain of the Hungarian Royal Police Rádóczi Dr.Boda Dezső was suprized with an album on the 25th anniversary of his service.

Several works by famous photographers, Munkácsi Márton, Bojár Sándor, Inkey Tibor, Rév Miklós, from the era between WWI and WWII are also included in the collection. Rutkai Pál was one of the first photographers of the magazine titled 'Hungarian Police Officer'. Photos taken at the recruitment of the first female police officers make us smile. The ladies had to appear in bathing suits in front of the board made up of only men. The thorough examiners even checked the heels of the ladies.

A police officer in uniform directed the traffic from a wooden boot in front of the Nyugati train station. Photos of wounds from the archives of the Institution of Anatomy are also shown just as photos taken on location of crime are placed on separate shelves along with a series of photos of delegations.
