What it is
The lake museum, next to the station, tells the whole story of Balaton: its formation, nature, fishing and summer holidays, with a section on Hungarian holidays in the 1970s and 1980s. It covers more than 700 m² with about 10,000 objects. In winter 2026–2027 it adds temporary exhibitions: "Balatoni retro", until 30 April 2027, and Christmas decorations from 14 November to 30 January.
