It is proven that chemical activities were carried out in the Carpathian Basin even before the Hungarian conquest. The gold-mining of the Roman Empire was continued by the descendants of the Hungarians. There was metallurgy, expoerts were experimenting with alloys and the control of refineries and the mints.

There is a Valuable balance made at the beginning of the 20th century and the socalled mercurial heft series of Károly Than. We can also see letter balances, a grain quality analizer, which latter one was used to measure the weight of a certain amount of grains. Visitors can also see drug-store heft sets, analytical and many other kinds of balances.

The exhibition gives a universal picture about the slow change to the modern developed and capitalized production methods. The reason for the slowness can be found in the lack of financies as well as the limitative affect of the conscious Austrian industrial policy.

The material is placed on tho tableous. The capital and the rural chemical industry and pharmaceutical industrial enterprises are shown separately. Besides the photographs we can see company reports, company newspapers and copies of chemical industry expert reviews are exhibited.
