József Attila Museum, Makó

The József Attila Museum is a regional museum in Makó housing collections of local history, ethnography, fine art, and literature in a modern building on Megyeház Street. The exhibitions show regional development and cultural features across several centuries.

The museum was founded in 1950 from a collection of archaeological objects, later moved to a romantic mansion, and relocated again in 1981 to its current building. These relocations show how the institution grew to accommodate expanding collections.

The museum displays manuscripts by poet József Attila alongside exhibits about local customs, crafts, and agricultural development in the region. Visitors can see how meaningful this poet remains to Hungarian literature and to Makó's identity.

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM in a modern, easily accessible building. The exhibitions are clearly labeled and visitors have ample time to explore the different sections for history, crafts, and literature.

The museum operates the Espersit House literary exhibition site, an additional venue that has focused since 1979 on Makó's literary history and connection to József Attila. This separate location offers visitors deeper insight into the poet's meaning for the city.
