History

The former theatre was built in 1889 based on the designs of the architect Gerster Kálmán from Budapest. It was the first representative public building in Máramarossziget built fom stone. It was also the town hall for two decades.

It was used as a cinema from the 1960s. The Ethnographic Museum founded in 1899 by Dr. Szilágyi István and Várady Gábor has been housed in this building since 1969.
