The exhibition displays the life conditions of a middle peasant family through the items of the ethnographic collection.

The historical Boesod county is one of those established by St. Stefan during the establishment of the state. The early counties were led by the bailiffs assigned by the king. Their work involved county administration,directing the judgment and tax collection duties, and the arrangement of the military operations. Their residence used to be at places such as the Borsod castle.

The exhibition is commemorated to the history and culture of the rural (and lower) noblemen: in the first house of the Horkay property some pieces of furniture strive to represent the duality between the popular and the civilian inhabitation.
