History

The building was originally built in 1936 as the seat of the Romanian Prefecture. Since 1984 it has housed the Szatmár County Museum. The museum was founded in 1901 by Hungarians. The objects collected by the Kölcsey Circle, founded in 1892 in Szatmárnémeti, formed the core of the collection. Kölcsey Ferenc is the famous poet who wrote the Hungarian national anthem.
