Folklore exhibits at the Déri Museum, a short walk west of the Calvinist College, offer excellent insights into life on the plain and the bourgeois citizens of Debrecen up to the 19th century. Mihály Munkácsy’s mythical interpretations of the Hortobágy and his Christ’s Passion trilogy usually take pride of place in a separate art gallery but it was under renovation at research time. The museum’s entrance is flanked by four superb bronzes by sculptor Ferenc Medgyessy, a local boy who merits his own Medgyessy Museum in an old burgher house a short distance to the northeast.
