The Dezső Laczkó Museum is south of Megyeház tér. It has archaeological exhibits (the emphasis is on the Roman settlement at Balácapuszta), a large collection of Hungarian, German and Slovak folk costumes, and superb wooden carvings, including objects made by the famed outlaws of the Bakony Hills in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Next door to the museum is Bakony House, a copy of an 18th-century thatched peasant dwelling in the village of Öcs, southwest of Veszprém. It has the usual three rooms found in Hungarian peasant homes, and the complete kamra (workshop) of a flask-maker has been set up. Its roof suffered fire damage in May 2008, so what you see today is very new.
