Veszprém Laczkó Dezső Museum

The two-storey Dezső Laczkó Museum, decorated with red sandstone, is in the shadow of huge trees at the edge of Erzsébet Park. The Museum awaits visitors with permanent and temporary exhibitions throughout the whole the year. The permanent exhibition has been designed for those interested about the past of Veszprém and its surroundings. The exhibitions are based on more than 100 years of collecting activities. The predecessor of today’s museum opened – as a result of the work of director Dezső Laczkó – in 1904. Back then mainly archaeological and natural scientific finds were displayed here. The cultural palace of the centre of Veszprém was constructed on the basis of István Medgyaszay’s design. The Veszprém County Museum and Library, the first public library of the country – today a goldmine for hundreds of researchers – as well as the databank and photo collection operated here. There are academic and educational lectures and events related to the exhibitions and collections, as well as museum pedagogical classes, which are important for the youth in order to get to know our county. Guided tours and the Museum Friends’ Club await those interested. In the souvenir shop one can buy academic and popular-scientific publications related to the findings of the researchers, copies of works of art and folk art products.
