The most important administrative authority of the Hungarian state by tradition, was the county. The symbol of thes authority in the county of Tolna was the County Hall, built by the leding architect of the period: Mihaly Pollack.

The exhibition in the old Hall reflects memories of the first half of the XIXth century. Walking ttrough the drawing room of the Lord Lieutenant, the Ladie's parlour, the library or the hunters room, one feels the touch of the 1800's.

In the drawing room stands the Empire styled armchair, in which the newly elected Lord Lieutenant was raised during his inauguration. On the wall, a fine portrait of the Emperor Francis Ist can be seen, the gift of Tamás Tihanyi from 1828.

The drawing room - in Emprie styled - is furnished with a beautiful suite, made around the 1810's in Vienna. The paintings in this room are of mythological themes, some classical portraits of János Donát and a family tableau from Izidor Neugass, dated 1811.

The Ladies parlour contins a Hungarian made drawing suite, with a Biedermeier-style family gallery on the wall. There are also some romantic landscapes, a painting from Miklós Barbás and a "Picture Clok" in a romantic millieu.

The next enterieur is housing the book collection, exhibited in fine cherry-wood cabinets. Among the other exhibits a renaissance panel of Rocco Marconi, a late renessaine drawing-desk from Italy and baroque prints of Rome are on the walls. Two oil paintings complete the list of objects in this room: "Judith and Holofernes" from Antal Haán, and the other is Soma Orlai Petrics "Szép Ilonka".

Hunting scenes, genre paintings, pipe racks and the neo-baroque sitting furniture are creating the masculine atmosphere of the hunter's-room. In a separate glass cabinet three exceptionally fine meerschaum pipe-heads are on display.
