About the exhibition:

What is Marcus Aurelius doing in Pécs? Journey through time in the city’s most exciting new exhibition and You’ll see!
What makes us feel like we belong to Pécs or Baranya? What comes to mind for those living far away when they think about this city at the foot of the Mecsek and Hungary’s southernmost county? This exhibition seeks to answer these questions.The Spirit of Place – Genius Loci has created a space that expresses our love, respect, and connection to our home.

It is the only exhibition in Baranya that presents our local stories and traditions from prehistoric times to the present day in an innovative way.

You can experience 2000 years of history in an interactive way. Try out what you look like in folk costume, be a hairdresser for Roman empresses, steer a ship, or build the Bishop’s Castle.

The best of all is that the stories are authentically told to you by the geniuses – spirits of the place.

Each room represents geographical locations where far-reaching events took place. Through the museum’s archaeological, local historical, and ethnographic collections, visitors are guided by those who experienced or envisioned these events – our geniuses.

We hope their spirit and intellectual legacy will deepen the sense of belonging to Pécs and Baranya, and the experience of this area’s cultural diversity.

At the end of your visit, we guarantee you will understand what connects us, who live in Pécs.
