　　This surprisingly absorbing museum showcases two floors' worth of dolls dressed in folk costumes from all parts of Hungary. On the ground floor, there's also a remarkable wooden seat carved from the roots of a yew tree (rather like a wooden version of the Iron Throne from Game of Thrones). On the top floor you'll find models of traditional houses and ornate doorways.
