János Arany Memorial Museum, Literary museum in Salonta, Romania.
The János Arany Memorial Museum occupies a 22-meter medieval tower with four floors, containing manuscripts, photographs, and personal items of the poet.
The building housing the museum, known as Truncated Tower, was constructed between 1606 and 1630, serving as an observation post before restoration in 1889.
The museum presents the complete works of János Arany, including the Toldi Trilogy and over 100 ballads that transformed Hungarian literature in the 1800s.
The museum collection includes archaeological artifacts from the region, such as Neolithic painted ceramics, Celtic iron objects, and fourth-century vessels.
The facility maintains János Arany's original manuscripts and translations of Shakespeare's plays, which introduced English literature to Hungarian readers.
