Jósa András Múzeum, Archaeological museum in Nyíregyháza, Hungary
The Jósa András Museum is an archaeological and art institution in Nyíregyháza that holds collections spanning different periods. Its galleries display discoveries from past eras, paintings, decorative items, and coins from Eastern Hungary.
The institution began in 1868 when an archaeologist started preserving findings from the region. Over subsequent decades, the collection expanded significantly through ongoing discoveries and acquisitions.
The museum displays crafts and artistic traditions that shaped daily life and celebrations in Eastern Hungary. Its exhibitions show how local techniques were passed down through generations of artisans.
The museum sits in a building in the city center and welcomes visitors on most days throughout the week. Comfortable footwear is recommended since you will walk through multiple galleries with different collections.
One permanent exhibition traces the history of money from antiquity to the 17th century, and within it the Újfehértó gold treasure is displayed. The hoard is a separate find from the museum's building, which was designed by Kálmán Maróthy in 1925.
