János Damjanich Museum, Regional history museum in Szolnok, Hungary.

The János Damjanich Museum occupies the classicist former Magyar Király Hotel, built in 1860 to plans by Lajos Obermayer at Kossuth Square 4. Its permanent displays cover archaeology from prehistory to the Middle Ages, peasant crafts such as pottery and furriery, and the Szolnok Art Colony. A separate gallery in the left studio wing shows works by colony artists.

The idea of a museum was promoted by historian Viktor Híld in 1913, but the city's first library and museum association was created by Balogh Béla in 1933. Gyula Kaposvári brought real momentum from 1948, and the growing collections moved into the former Magyar Király Hotel in 1952. That neoclassical building was designed by Lajos Obermayer and built in 1860.

The museum's name honours János Damjanich, the general who led the victorious Battle of Szolnok in 1848–49. In the ethnographic rooms, visitors can see a potter's workshop and a furrier's workshop, and at the entrance to the Cuman and Jász exhibition they may put on a Cuman kaftan. The Szolnok Picture Gallery occupies ten rooms of 670 square metres in the museum's left-hand studio building.

The museum sits at Kossuth Square in central Szolnok and is easy to find within the city center. It is best to check opening hours before visiting and allow time to explore the various exhibition areas.

The museum holds paintings by László Mednyánszky depicting his First World War experiences, and also preserves a rare collection of vintage radios and television sets. These items provide unexpected perspectives on the region's art and technology history.
