History

The museum has an exhibition of the history of the town. It presents the life of two famous Hungarians, the writer Jókai Mór and the operetta composer Lehár Ferenc. The study of Jókai Mór can also be seen.

The Neo-Baroque building was constructed for the Jókai Association with significant state contribution in 1913 according to the plans of the architect Hütl Dezső. The first exhibition of the town museum was opened on April 2, 1914. The chauvinist Czechoslovak government dissolved the Jókai Association in 1947 and the building was confiscated. The museum was reopened after having been renamed to "Podunajské múzeum".
