The exhibition based on the rich findings and the models of buildings presents several centuries starting with the life of the Hungarians of the original settlement and ending with the destruction of the county town of Szer in 1956. Off course, we concentrate at the area of the monastery.

The valley of the river Tisza is a real wild water country. Despite of this, or for this, it was populated in the ancient times as well as the period of the original settlement. The colonies were mainly organized around the flood free areas. Still, the people living there had to protect themselves against water which is why they built embankments.

The monastery of the Benedictines with the church attached to it was one of the most significant buildings of Hungary in the Middle Ages. The rulers of the world, the members of the Bór-Kalán clan, bare important offices at the royal court and the temple. The monastery was destroyed at the time of the Turkish expansion, but the ruins of the church still stood in the 19th century.
