The balance exhibition starts off with a short introduction which summarises the main stations of balance making. After this it displays nearly 40 pieces of old and new laboratory balances.
There is a Valuable balance made at the beginning of the 20th century and the socalled mercurial heft series of Károly Than. We can also see letter balances, a grain quality analizer, which latter one was used to measure the weight of a certain amount of grains. Visitors can also see drug-store heft sets, analytical and many other kinds of balances.
The exhibition is enriched by documents about the function of balances made by popular balance makers, such as Károly Zier, Sándor Huber, etc.
