Independent edifices: - Study Collection

It makes it possible to view and admire the multitude which is stored according to scientific types and series. This access takes place in ideal environmental and light conditions, which still protects the objects. The furniture, (tables, chests, cupboards, beds, chairs, racks, benches) pottery, household equipment (including glassware), baskets, cast-iron stoves and ranges are organised according to material and type. The 2000 square metre store laid out on two floors of the office building is also the base for museological work. The Study Collection is a unique museum venture in Hungary in the sense that visitors can get information about the exhibits digitally too.
