Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism, Trade and tourism museum in District III, Budapest, Hungary
The Hungarian Museum of Trade and Tourism houses a large collection of objects from the world of commerce and travel, including business materials, documents, and promotional items. The exhibits show how people bought, sold, and journeyed, from old scales to vintage menu cards and business equipment.
The museum was founded in 1966 and first opened in a historic building on Buda Castle that had long served as a meeting place for merchants and travelers. Over the decades, the collection moved several times before settling in its current location in another district.
The institution preserves memories of how merchants and travelers conducted their dealings and displayed their goods in this place. The collection tells the story of how people across time engaged in trade and journeyed to new destinations.
Visits are best planned for Tuesday through Sunday when the rooms are open and you can walk through at a comfortable pace. It helps to think ahead about which areas interest you most, since the collection is quite extensive.
This is the only museum worldwide dedicated to the combined history of trade and tourism together. No other institution covers both worlds in such a connected way or shows how they have influenced each other across time.
