Ottó Herman Museum, Regional museum in Miskolc, Hungary

The Ottó Herman Museum is Miskolc's largest museum, holding more than 600,000 artifacts. Its oldest building, a listed one-storey structure at Papszer 1 near Erzsébet tér, grew from a medieval core from the 15th century onward; Miskolc's first school once operated there. The Görgey street main building, designed by Pál Vincze in 1952 in socialist realist style, houses the fine arts collection.

The institution was founded in 1899 under the name Borsod-Miskolcz Museum and was renamed in 1953 to honor the naturalist and scholar Ottó Herman. This change reflected the museum's growth and its role in preserving regional knowledge.

The museum's ethnographic collection documents the Matyó folk art of Mezőkövesd, whose declining traditions were already being presented in the 1927 exhibition. Memorial rooms honour figures tied to the region, among them the writer József Lévay, the politician Bertalan Szemere, Ottó Herman and the historian János Szendrei. The name Borsod-Miskolcz recalls the historical county and an archaic spelling of the city.

The museum is open on most days of the week, allowing visitors to explore the different exhibitions at their own pace. Guided tours are available by advance request and offer deeper insights into specific collections.

The institution operates a network of thirteen additional exhibition sites throughout the surrounding county, including the Pannonian Sea Museum. These satellite locations allow visitors to discover different aspects of local natural history and culture across multiple venues.
