Museum - Erdős Renée-House - Exhibition Hall

The Erdős Renée House is one of the rare buildings in the 17th district that hardly changed ever since they were built. An embossment over the entrance signifies to the visitor that the house was built in 1895 with the help of the Virgin Mary and Saint George. It was acquired by Erdős Renée, a famed writer of the time, in 1927. She kept it until 1944. In 1990, the Erdős Renée House, a museum, opened in the building.

Crossroads - The history of people who once lived in the 17th district

Our local history exhibition is based on the geographic location of the settlements and their infrastructure. About Rákoskeresztúr we found a photo taken around 1930. The photo shows the crossroads of Pesti Street and Ferihegy Street where a sign-post also showed the way to Rákosliget, Rákoscsaba, Rákoshegy and Budapest. The scale model of this sign-post is situated in the middle of the ward showing the way to varied sections of the exhibition. The history of the settlements are presented vie photos, documents, maps and a few objects.
