We approach the village museum through an entrance building in the style of the old country houses of the lesser nobility. The museum, opened in 1968, was established near a watermill on the backwater of the River Zala. On its wall, a plaque commemorates the researchers of the Gocsej area. Visitors can see 40 buildings that were brought here from their original location, except for the watermill, which has always stood there. We can see a blacksmith's shop, a wooden belfry, a log wall house and wine cellars, together with a wide range of items reflecting the past of this folk region.
Next to the village museum, visitors can find the Museum of the Oil Industry, opened in 1969. It is a fit and proper "monument" to Hungarian exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons, having many technical exhibits, including industrial tools and related equipment. We can also see the busts of prominent figures of the industry in a park, but the reminders of major catastrophes as well.
