About the museum
The museum operates in the former transformer house of the Ság-hegy basalt quarry. Its interactive exhibition presents the history of the hill from its formation to recent quarrying, the natural and cultural heritage of the landscape, part of the archaeological finds, and the history of quarrying and viticulture.
A separate section deals with the Ság-hegy research of the geophysicist Eötvös Loránd; the exhibition also includes an improved version of the original Eötvös torsion balance. A small stone park and a nature trail lead around the building. The museum is also suitable for visits with small children.
