The more than 230-page book outlines the history of the museum's archaeology, city history, industrial arts, literature, fine arts, natural history and folk art collections. A collection of coins, photographs and negatives bequeathed to the museum by Sándor Bálint has a special place in the book.
Readers will learn that an official inventory of the museum's collections was first made in 1918 by the museum director Ferenc Móra. They will also see the famous "Szeged slippers" from the 1930s left to the museum by the folk artist Sándor Rátkai.
