History
The palace was built between 1911 and 1913 on the initiative of the Kölcsey Society, based on the plans of Szántay Lajos. Different parts of the palace were designed according to the architecture of different historical periods. It was home to the Museum of Relics, the library, the picture gallery and other local collections. The Museum of Relics housed a collection of the military officers executed in Arad in 1849 and of the Hungarian War of Independence. Its construction was supported by the Ministry of Public Education of Hungary with 150,000 crowns. The building is decorated with reliefs by Rubletzky Géza. Today it houses the History Museum with important 1848 memorabilia.
In 1881, the Kölcsey Association of Arad was founded with the aim of collecting relics related to the Hungarian War of Independence and later opening a museum. This museum opened on 6 October 1892 on the second floor of the present theatre. It was opened permanently and inaugurated on 15 March 1893. It remained there until 1913. In 1913, it moved to the Palace of Culture designed by Szántay Lajos. In 1893, when it opened, the museum had an exhibition of almost 4000 objects.
