• The archaeological exhibition at the Városi Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény features finds from several periods, from the Neolithic to the early Árpád era.

The Csepel Autó Gyártmánymúzeum focuses on the history of the Csepel Autógyár. It was founded in 2009 to commemorate this industrial enterprise. The museum has been open to visitors in its current form since 2014. It puts a specific chapter of the town’s industrial history in the spotlight.

The archaeological exhibition at the Városi Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény offers a different perspective through time. Its finds come from Szigetszentmiklós and span the Neolithic, Copper Age, Bronze Age, Roman and Avar periods, and the era of the Hungarian Conquest, through to the early Árpád era. This sequence helps you understand the exhibition as an overview of different periods, rather than an account of just one era.

The Lakihegyi Rádióadó is also part of the town’s industrial history: this industrial monument recalls the early days of Hungarian broadcasting. The Molnár Imre Citeragyűjtemény, by contrast, focuses on a musical instrument. More than 100 exhibits trace the development of the traditional Hungarian zither and related instruments from abroad. If you want to compare different themes, you’ll find a range of subjects here: automotive history, broadcasting history, archaeological finds, and musical instruments.
