Members of the Ferenczy family are representatives of a new creative thinking about art, abiding autonomous art and aesthetic values, above all. The mother , Olga Fialka could hardly exploit her excellent abilities. The older brother, Valér became the master of graphics in the 20th century. The father , Károly Ferenczy and the twins born in Szentendre in 1890 born, Béni and Noémi s implemented this approach in Hungarian art in their creations of outstanding value.

In 1973, the collection of nearly 2,000 works of art was purhased from the Béni Ferenczy heritage, including a number of paintings, graphics, sculptures and medals. The ensemble of works is complemented by a rich selection of manuscripts. The permanent exhibition first opened in 1973 and was reopened in the museum's new building in the upstairs rooms. The exhibition is basically structured chronologically. It was added a new thematic unit that presents the history of the Ferenczy family.
