Laczkó Dezső Museum

The primary mission of the Laczkó Dezső Museum is to explore, preserve, and share the cultural and historical values of the city of Veszprém and its county.

The museum places special emphasis on military history, the past of Veszprém, open-air ethnographic exhibitions and collections, national minority traditions, and landscape research. It also collects contemporary artifacts and actively collaborates with contemporary glass artists, maintaining a nationwide collection of glass art.

It is an institution in continuous dialogue with local communities, involving them in the discovery and presentation of their heritage. Beyond simply showcasing collections, the museum is committed to sustainable preservation and meaningful use.

Through its research and exhibitions, the museum responds to current social issues and encourages reflection.

In addition to its core cultural mission, the museum actively engages in experiential knowledge-sharing and, based on its collection, contributes to the creative industries by developing competitive products and services. It constantly seeks new, enjoyable, engaging, and creative approaches, positioning itself as an innovative, family-friendly institution.

Above all, the museum considers it its fundamental duty to enrich, preserve, and ensure unrestricted access to the cultural heritage entrusted to its care—for present and future generations alike.

The museum’s main building can be reached on foot from either Megyeház Square or Erzsébet Promenade. The nearest parking facility is the underground garage of the University of Pannonia. By public transport, the museum is about a 15-minute walk from the Veszprém bus station. From the train station, it can be accessed directly via local bus line 4, getting off at the “Megyeház tér” stop.
