Museum of Agricultural Machinery

Szent István University, 1 Károly Páter street

The museum hosts the second largest collection of agricultural machinery in the world. On its 6,000 squaremeters it is home to a collection of more than 2,000 agricultural machines that are still working. 6 exhibitions introduce agricultural machinery and curiosities in the history of agricultural techniques.
The visitor will be introduced the 2.5 million year-old history of food acquisition and production through some models reconstructed with the help of original designs and machines. It is a true adventure of understanding mankind's tough fight for the daily bread. The exhibitions show the development of the machines from very early times like wind, water and steem powered agricultural machines to modern ones used today. Some 200 agricultural models show the development of food producing machinery together with documentation on the technical history of the respective time. Hungaricums (traditional Hungarian food types) are on display here: more than 300 types of food introduce the traditional food of Hungarians arranged in a thematic order according to regions.  The complete history of Hungarian agricultural production is explained in an exhibition in which the visitor can see soil cultivating machines, plant cultivating machines and those for animal husbandry used by the ploughmen in earlier times to modern machines used today.
