We have visited this museum during a half day trip the first time. The location of the museum is szperb with planty parking places in front of. The buildings are nice. There are different themes to see. What it was interesting for us is the minerals part and the pavillion with the different levels of life in the forest. Kids really enjoyed it and want to fo back next time. There are many usefull infos shared that even adults may like. The new building is just superb. It is not a full day activity but rather 2-3 hours. The park is great also. What I we did not liea that staff in the main building was not too kind after the kids were very active. Overall this is a good place to go.

The Matra Museum is actually two buildings that are separated both physically and thematically, which are located on a two-hectare park. The first building is the Orczy Castle, built in 1769-70, which showcases hunting, minerals, fossils, and local history. It also has a restored skeleton of a European Mammoth on prominent display.
The second building, recently constructed, is dedicated to the natural history of Hungary. It contains collections of insects; mollusks; birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles; fungi; and plants. There are also a large number of dioramas, a greenhouse, vivariums, and aquariums. It is expertly curated - as good as any natural history museum that I have seen.
We have visited twice, and MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Mátra Museum is one of the most interesting museums in Hungary. The beautifully restored mansion of the Europa Nostra Prize, the romantic castle park, and the modern Natural Pavilion opened in 2009 are a must-see.

I really enjoyed this museum. I specially liked the collection of rocks/stones/shells etc. It also had some live animals too such as lizards and fish. It was reasonably priced to get in. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

A stunning way of presentation of the nature of Matra hill. It can keep both children and adults interest and may make them learn a lot during a visit.

Still not convinced the Matra museum has much in common with the Natural History exhibition, and why they are connected, but the good thing is you can buy separate tickets if you only have time for one. Unfortunately, the mineral exhibit was closed at the time we were there, and the remaining open 6 rooms of the Matra museum did not cause too much excitement for the family. However, the Natural History exhibit is superb!!!

This location combines the Matra museum, a park, and a separate Natural History exhibition building showing fauna and flora of the region plus a palm house. We stopped by on a chance and were very positively surprised by the diversity and quality of the exhibitions and how much you can learn about the natural history of the Matra hills region as well as about the life in past centuries in the Orczy family home. One needs at least two hours to get value from all the information, which is presented in English as well as Hungarian. Children would love it.
