Vasúti Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény

About the museum

The collection operates in one room of the main hall of the new passenger building of the Mátészalka station, where the permanent railway local history exhibition “Hazánk – ezen belül Mátészalka és környéke – vasúttörténete” (Our Country – Within It, Mátészalka and Its Surroundings – Railway History) can be seen; in the square in front of the station building stands a mainline steam locomotive. The collection has been maintained since 1984 under an operating licence, researching the history of railway transport in the eastern region. Operation is ensured without a budget, through voluntary work; the collection is an operational-history exhibition and presentation, with guided tours.
