Hollókő is a little Palóc village in Nógrád County. The village belonging to the world heritage is bacoming popular among visitors from Hungary and abroad. The Post Museum opened in 1990 is a favored location. An exhibition is open in two wards: 'The Post of Palóc Land' showing documents and the history of the village.
12 pageants show the history of communication of information of the region. A separate pageant presents the road system, tools of post transport, the development of telecommunication, the signs of the post of Palóc land and stamps related to the region. A separate chapter talks about Palóc illustrious personae via stamps and correspondence.
We also show stamps and stamp designs related to Palócföld by the line engraving artist Horváth Endre. Horváth Endre was born in Bazin near Bratislava. He attended school in Balassagyarmat. He worked at the mint of the Hungarian National Bank and designed most of our banknotes: two third of the 'pengő' and forint up to the 100 coin. He also designed several stamps and was acknowledged by the profession both in Hungary and abroad.
A separate pageant shows the names and photos of past masters. The folk art of the Palóc is also shown in stamps and postcards.
In showcases we show objects and tools related to post and telecommunication of the past decades.
The exhibition also shows beautiful works by the doll maker applied artist Illyés Borbála and the wood carver Kiss Gyula.
