History

The museum is located in a Gothic-Renaissance burgher's house. The house was owned by the goldsmith Haltz Dániel in the 17th century. In the 19th century the building was owned by Palcsó István (1826-1895), who was the teacher of the Lutheran lyceum and also a historian and writer. The exhibition was opened in 1994 and it presents the changes in furniture design in the period between the 17th and the 20th centuries.
