History

From 1884, the town had workshops for construction, woodworking and metalworking. In the same year, a technical drawing school was founded under the direction of Pákei Lajos, which was elevated to the status of an industrial college in 1887. It was at this time that Pákei Lajos, the town's chief architect, came up with the idea of creating an industrial museum. The museum opened in 1888. From 1896 to 1898, the construction of the new building of the Franz Joseph Museum of Industry and Technology, which also housed an industrial school, took place. The director was Pákei Lajos. Between 1903 and 1904, the museum's independent building was constructed on the other side of the street. Both buildings were designed by Pákei Lajos.
