Matyo Museum - Mezokovesd

In the Matyo Museum you can see examples of the costumes once worn every day. Visitors can admire the long, bell-shaped skirts and richly coloured ornamental head-dresses worn by the women and the long, loose-sleeved shirts, also highly embroidered, of the men. The traditions and way of life of the Matyo are also exhibited.
At the entrance to the Museum there is a bust of Bori Kis Janko (died in 1954), who established a school of this art and who is referred to as "the writing woman of a hundred of roses". Her home, built around 1850, is today a museum dedicated to her. You can see the bright colours of her work and get an insight into the life of the poor peasantry of the old days.
