The Bocskai Istv\u00e1n Bocskai Museum, located 1000 metres from the spa, presents the cultural heritage of Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3 in seven permanent exhibitions in three buildings.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibitions provide an interactive museum experience. In the history exhibition, visitors can hold the weapons of the hajduks and write on a slate, in the retro exhibition they can try out a \u201eTrabant simulator\u201d, and in the local history exhibition they can try on the traditional costumes of the locals. While the art exhibitions feature works by Picasso and Chagall, the Royal Treasury has copies of the Bocskai Crown and Scepter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Royal Treasury in Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the new building of the Bocskai Museum, called the Royal Treasury, visitors can see noble and authentic copies of the crown and sceptre of the Transylvanian prince Istv\u00e1n Bocskai, who settled the Hajd\u00fa people in Soboszlo. The \u201eHoly Crown of the Hajd\u00faks\u201d is a real mystery: its origin is questionable, its role disputed, its ownership unclear. It could have been made in Byzantine, Turkish or Persian workshops. It is the only crown with which a Transylvanian prince was crowned Hungarian king, although only some historians accept this. The Bocskai crown was a symbol of the power of one of the greatest Hungarian rulers, and the Habsburgs feared it so much that they took it to Vienna after the prince's death. Its original remains there today, although both the Hungarian and Romanian states still claim it as their own. However, a valuable replica of it is now on display in Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden of the Bocskai Museum houses an agricultural history exhibition, showing the continuous technical development since the 1800s. Another unique attraction is the aluminium bells of Edit Oborzil and her husband Tibor Jeney, which were bequeathed to the town of Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3. The bells of the town's symbolic belfry are also part of this collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the main building of the multi-building Bocskai Museum, the permanent exhibition&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/hajduszoboszlo\/\">Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3<\/a>&nbsp;history of the city. A unique rarity in the museum is the Bocskai flag, which was donated by the prince to the Hajd\u00fa warriors and has been preserved in the Bocskai Istv\u00e1n Museum. As a reminder of the past, the coat of arms on the flag can also be found on the privilege letter of the \u201eszoboszl\u00f3\u201d Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3 Hajd\u00fa Hajd\u00fa Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3 and on the present-day coat of arms of the town of Hajd\u00faszoboszl\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition is very varied, including a painting of Prince Istv\u00e1n Bocskai by J\u00e1nos Sz\u0171ts, as well as utensils, war relics and relics of the town's famous natives - Ern\u0151 Sz\u00e9p, Ferenc P\u00e1vai-Vajna. Other interesting exhibits include a collection of insects and butterflies typical of the Hajd\u00fas\u00e1g region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information on the exhibitions currently on view, visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bocskaimuzeum.hu\/kiallitas.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bocskai Museum<\/a>&nbsp;on the website.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":807,"template":"","program_kategoria":[137],"program_idoszak":[145],"program_idojaras":[149],"program_celcsoport":[150,151,152,153,154],"program_erdeklodes":[],"program_megkozelites":[160,161,162,163],"class_list":["post-801","program","type-program","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program_kategoria-helyi","program_idoszak-egesz-evben","program_idojaras-rossz-idoben","program_celcsoport-csaladoknak","program_celcsoport-fiataloknak","program_celcsoport-gyerekeknek","program_celcsoport-paroknak","program_celcsoport-szenioroknak","program_megkozelites-autoval","program_megkozelites-busszal","program_megkozelites-gyalog","program_megkozelites-kerekparral"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program\/801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/program"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program_kategoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_kategoria?post=801"},{"taxonomy":"program_idoszak","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_idoszak?post=801"},{"taxonomy":"program_idojaras","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_idojaras?post=801"},{"taxonomy":"program_celcsoport","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_celcsoport?post=801"},{"taxonomy":"program_erdeklodes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_erdeklodes?post=801"},{"taxonomy":"program_megkozelites","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hajduszoboszlo.hu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program_megkozelites?post=801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
