    Good experience, friendly staff. Mostly in Hungarian, but some rooms have information translated into English. Feels good just to walk around feeling the atmosphere of the past. The ticket was 1500huf.

    Time machine. Would you like to feel how hungarians lived in the past? Try to make saloon candies, play quizzes and get much interesting info about life back in the past. Preferably take an excursion. Eng.papers also available in every room.

    I never imagined it was going to be that good. The building looks very simple from the outside, but this place is a kingdom in the inside. The exhibitions give a marvellous representation of how businesses were in the past and how they all started. You can read about the life of business people who founded businesses more than 150 years ago that are still operating. Depending on how much you go into destila reading the descriptions of all exhibition rooms, you can enjoy the place for between 1 and 3 hours. Recommendation: don’t go with kids below I think. They will get bored.

    If you're in Budapest and looking for something to do that isn't teeming with tourists, give this museum a visit! The museum features replicas of businesses back in the day, and some are rather immersive. Some exhibits also feature interactive items. However, I'd say that the exhibits aren't uniquely Hungarian, so only stop by after you're done with the usual tourist spots.

    Described as a hidden gem in the guidebook. Well worth a visit. Very interesting and a lot to see. Staff were excellent and explained everything very well. It's different to your average at gallery and museum, but we really enjoyed the displays. Probably worth having Google translate in places, but mostly self explanatory. Thank you.

    A lot of well designed rooms about trade and commerce and hospitality. English pamphlets can be found in each room to have a look at.

    Okay, so if you want to see something particular and unique about the marketing and advertisements in Hungary in the 1900 as in the 20th century, go no further. Fantastic, one of a kind exhibitions with INTERACTIVE corners and elements in every single room. Fantastic for kids as well. Family friendly and visitor friendly and it is finally not a tourist trap. Oh yeah, and it is cheap. :) Way underrated. It is accurate and lovely trio down memory lane if you wish to go for a bit of time travelling.... Aki teheti, látogasson ide! :) Minden szoba egyedi és interaktív elemekkel teli. Mi szinte havonta járunk ide a gyerekekkel! Imádják!

    To be honest I traveld back to past. It was the old Hungary, what reminded me to my childhood. I could see again the old commercials, items and foods what the people found in every general store. It s a unique among the museums.

  • 5/5 Kang Zi J. 1 year ago on Google
    I came here for the Night of the Museums and was fairly impressed! Nice complex, great vibes, well designed space, and interesting exhibits. Loved the retro art and artefacts that were showing Budapest of old. Not sure if it happens aside from the event but I liked that there was an outdoor food truck area. If I knew I would have came here for dinner. For the event, there were also a group of really talented high schoolers (?) from a nearby Jewish school (as told by the couple whom chatted me up) playing some great music. I enjoyed my time here a lot.

    Here the milieu of the end of XIX sentury becomes visable and vivid, aspecially as that of cafe houses and saloons and restorants.

  • 5/5 Imre S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very surprised .... He's in a secluded place. But the lavish exhibition and the dedication of the tour guides make up for everything. Closed on Mondays but also open on Sundays. The exhibition was so detailed that it was 3 to 4 hours long. I recommend to everyone ... of all ages .... (Original) Nagyon meglepett ....Eldugott helyen van . De pazar kiállítás és az idegenvezetés odaadása kárpótol mindenért. Hétfön zárva de vasárnap is nyitva.Olyan részletgazdag volt a kiállítás , hogy3-4óra kevés hozzá. Mindenkinek ajálom...Korosztálytól függetlenül....

    Really interesting museum of Hungarian social history. English info sheets in several area to make things clearer. But contents were mainly self explanatory. A little hard to find the museum.

  • 5/5 A. C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of my favorite museums, it’s in a cozy location and gives a comprehensive view of the themes. (Original) Az egyik kedvenc múzeumom, hangulatos helyen van és átfogó képet ad a témákról.

  • 5/5 Bajházi A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I met the kind, helpful staff, and all the exhibits that are stunning all the time and bring back the memories of the past. (Original) Kedves, segítőkész személyzettel találkoztam, illetve az összes kiállítás, mely megtekinthető egytől egyig lenyűgöző és vissza hozza a régmúlt emlékét.

  • 4/5 Jedi K. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Interesting, if we are interested in the subject. There are several rooms that are overwhelmed by the nostalgia of socialism, but this is not to blame. That's the point, after all. Personally, I was most impressed by the card exhibition. (Original) Érdekes, már amennyiben érdeklődünk a témában. Több szobája is van, ami elönt a szocializmus nem igazán kellemes nosztalgiájával, de ez nem róható fel nekik. Elvégre ez a lényege. Engem személy szerint a kártyakiállítás nyűgözött le a legjobban.

  • 5/5 zazi Z. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Tibor B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) About 2 hours minimum worth spending ... Lots to see 😊 (Original) Kb 2 órát minimum érdemes rászánni... Rengeteg a látnivaló 😊

  • 5/5 Katalin J. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) My favorite museum! You have to visit here several times, so many sights. It’s also interesting for young children because of the plethora of interactive, playful tasks, and because there’s a lot to touch on, you can try. It is worth paying attention to the programs, they are always very high quality, interesting! (Original) A kedvenc múzeumom! Ide többször kell ellátogatni, annyi a látnivaló. Kisgyerekeknek is érdekes a rengeteg interaktív, játékos feladat miatt, és azért, mert sok mindenhez hozzá lehet nyúlni, ki lehet próbálni. Érdemes figyelni a programokat, mindig nagyon színvonalasak, érdekesek!

  • 5/5 Anna K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It's a great place, I've wanted to visit here for a while. We also viewed permanent and temporary exhibitions. I didn't know that Gyula Krúdy also lived here, the history of the house was very interesting, and it was good to nostalgize e.g. alu food barrel, Tisza shoes, Szerencsi chocolate, etc. see you. Everyone was impressed, the pictures of the poster exhibition, József Füles Tóth were very humorous and apt, and the protocol exhibition also presented many familiar objects. Watching the short film, it was fun to hear how long ago they were worried about the height from which the pigeons would drop in honor of the distinguished guests 😀 kind, patient staff who provided us with good stories. I also recommend it to high school students and families! There were also many "tactile" interactive elements and games. Parking is available in the area and is easily accessible by public transport. It is also worth taking a walk in the area, where the Kehli restaurant or the courtyard of the nearby school also offers something surprising to discover! (Original) Nagyon szuper hely, már egy ideje szerettem volna ide ellátogatni. Az állandó és az időszaki kiállításokat is megtekintettük. Nem tudtam, hogy Krúdy Gyula is itt lakott, nagyon érdekes volt a ház története is, és jó volt nosztalgiázni pl. az alu éthordó, a Tisza cipő, a Szerencsi csoki, stb. làttán. Minden lenyűgözött, a plakát kiállítás, Tóth József Füles képei nagyon humorosak és találóak voltak, a protokoll kiállítás pedig szintén sok ismerős tárgyat mutatott be. A kisfilmet nézve mókás volt hallani, hogy régen azon aggódtak, hogy a galambok milyen magasságból pottyantanak majd a kiemelt vendégek tiszteletére 😀 kedves, türelmes munkatársak, akik jó történetekkel láttak el bennünket. Középiskolásoknak, családoknak is ajánlom! Sok "tapogathato" interaktiv elem, játék is volt. A környéken a parkolás is megooldható, és tömegközlekedéssel is könnyen megközelíthető. Érdemes a környéken is sétálni, ott a Kehli vendéglő, vagy a közeli iskola udvara is kínál némi meglepő felfedezni valót!

  • 5/5 Zsolt S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I didn't see the whole show. So much so that there are good things on display, such as old advertising signs. (Original) Nem láttam a teljes kiállítást. Annyit igen, hogy jópofa dolgok vannak kiállítva, például régi reklámfeliratok.

  • 5/5 Ferenc U. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dada E. 6 years ago on Google
    A lovely museum, very nice and interesting also for kids, since it has many interactive spots. English cards are available wherever there is no translation, but I strongly suggest you retrieve the museum's book, it is only 5,50€ and includes all the information and also photos. English speaking staff.

  • 5/5 Ildikó M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is very interesting to see the old equipment. Retro sweets, coffees, and the furnishings of the then popular public, were flown back to my childhood. You can also see beautiful shakers. The protocol exhibition was a great pleasure for me because of my foreign past. Charged, full of good feelings, I came out of the museum. I recommend it to everyone, kids too, because there are a lot of interactive elements and tasks for them. (Original) Nagyon érdekes látni a régi berendezéseket, eszközöket. A gyermekkoromba repítettek vissza a retro édességek, kávék, az akkori közért berendezése. Gyönyörűséges shakereket is lehet látni. A protokoll kiállítás a külügyes múltam miatt szerzett nagy örömöt. Feltöltődve, jó érzésekkel telve jöttem ki a múzeumból. Ajánlom mindenkinek, a gyerekeknek is, mert sok az interaktív elem és feladat a számukra.

  • 5/5 Györgyné B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I left here for the first time. Obudan, the home of Gyula Krudy is home to this very popular and fantastically unique museum. The visitor can learn about the mood of contemporary shops and shop windows. Here you will find specialist shops, a Stuhmer chocolate shop, a paper stationery store and an iron shop. We can load the sliding window - advertising window. Old shop assistants, articles, tableware, candy cabinets, hotel items. We can look into an old coffee house. On the table you can find the new frame in the wooden frame, which can be read in coffee. A poster of old places of entertainment appears. Vegulis is a miracle here. I recommend to everyone. (Original) Eloszor jartam itten. Obudan, Krudy Gyula egykori hazaban talalhato e nagyon kozkedvelt es fantasztikusan egyedulallo muzeum. Az idelatogato megismerheti a korabeli uzletek, kirakatok hangulatat. Itt talalhato a szakboltok, Stuhmer csokoladebolt, papir-iroszer uzlet es vasbolt. Lathatjuk a latvanytablakat- reklamtablakat. A regi bolti segedeszkozoket, arucikkeket, talalo, szakacs- es cukraszeszkozoket, szallodai targyakat. Bekukkanthatunk egy regi kavehazba. Az asztalon talalhato a fakeretben az ujsag, amit kavezas kozben olvashatunk. Feltunik a regi szorakozohelyek plakatja. Vegulis csodas itt minden. Mindenkinek ajanlom.

  • 4/5 Rudolf E. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was very pleased. Of course, because I was a very good concert hall given by Bohem Regtime. The museum is a pleasant place. It's really interesting to look at old signboards, perhaps especially for anyone who actually saw them back then. The approach is cumbersome and the parking is difficult. Meanwhile, as an inexperienced person, I also had to go through disgracefully bad road sections. (Original) Nekem nagyon bejött. Persze azért, mert egy nagyon jó koncertbulin voltam, amit a Bohém Regtime adott. A múzeum kellemes hely. Igazán érdekes nézegetni régi cégtáblákat, talán különösen annak, aki annak idején aktuálisan is láthatta őket. A megközelítés nehézkes, a parkolás is. Közben gyalázatosan rossz burkolatú útszakaszokon is át kellett haladnom nekem, mint járatlan embernek.
