The Idea

Was born back int he 1950s thanks to secondary school teacher Lajos Varga, who with the help of his students established the first geographical museum in the country.

The Story Continued…

Thanks to the work of the founder and his followers the museum became stronger and more like a real scientific center. The museum soon was regarded as the collection base of the whole Central Tisza Region, serving as a special database and library as well.

In 2006 the museum was moved to a new building, thus getting a real opportunity to develop and obtain new tasks and functions. In the process director Mária Béres played a crucial role, who, thanks to her versatile activities and close connections to the local community gave a new profile to the museum.

She proved to be excellent in making successful tenders and applications: based on the financial support of the Alfa Program a new permanent exhibition was created, which measures up to the expectations of a 21th century museum. The expression „living” is the most accurate definition to what the visitor can see at the Tiszazug Geographical Museum thanks to both the exhibition and to the impression it makes on the public.

By creating a study collection in the so called Kossuth House (an important building int he town’s history) a modern storage space was built with rooms for pedagogical programs.

The permanent exhibition and the programs connected to it prove that quality is not based solely on financial background or territorial location: it is the fruit of creativity, knowledge and will as well.
