Trianon Museum, Várpalota

Through temporary and permanent exhibitions the Trianon Museum gives a comprehensive overview of the consequences of the peace-treaties that ended World War I and the frequently bloody historical events that followed.

The Trianon Museum is the only institute of the Carpathian Basin that deals with the peace-treaties of World War I and its consequences and presents, in an institutionalised form, the rich and shocking material and spiritual legacy of losing part of the country due to Trianon.

The materials on display in the museum cover both the exact history of the Trianon dictum and its consequences as well as the result of the irredentist movement following World War I, the happy “homecoming” of certain parts of the country re-connected, the events of World War II and the bloody, collective retortion afflicted on Hungarians following the war.
