About

Our museum was established in order to raise the cult of Lake Balaton. Ever since our goals have remained the same, yet modern: we research and publicize the “Hungarian sea” by collecting, preserving, processing and presenting the natural values of Lake Balaton. We do not want to tell everything about Balaton, but we would like to show the major characteristics through which the lake and its history can be known. Our museum provides a comprehensive and public context in order to understand the environmental and social changes of the Balaton region. Our permanent exhibition recalls the history of the lake through eleven rooms. Our historical, archeological, ethnographic and natural history collections consist of 380. 000 items.
