István Bocskai Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:15:13

The Bocskai Museum is a temple to the memory of Prince István Bocskai and his hajdúk (Heyduck) helpers. Among the saddles, pistols and swords hangs Bocskai's banner – the standard of the Heyduck cavalry, picturing the prince doing battle with a leopard (which mysteriously changes into a lion in later versions). There's a good collection on local history and folk art. Next door is the International Modern Museum with works by local painters and graphic artists.
