Petöfi Literary Museum - Károlyi Mansion

Castles & Country Houses, Museums & Art Centres
The Petöfi Literary Museum was founded in 1954 and is housed in the Karolyi mansion, where it is dedicated to the Hungarian literary heritage in the widest possible way. The museum has several affiliate museums such as the Ady Memorial Museum, the Jokai Memorial Room, the Kassak Museum, the Museum of the Hungarian Language, and the Tale Museum.

The historical neo-Classical (listed) building was acquired in 1768 by Count Antal Károlyi (1731–1791) and stayed in the family until 1919, when Count Mihály Károlyi, prime minister and later president (1875–1955) and his wife emigrated.
