The Museum, which gives place for historical collection, is the youngest institution of the Organisation of Museums in Nógrád County. The museum has a thirty-year-old history — the first exhibition was opened in 1975.
One of the most important tasks of the museum besides the collection and the preservation of the different types of objects is the analysis and exhibition of these. A concious collecting work started first in the fifties when skilled and educated archaeologists began to work for and at the museum.
