The large-scale excavations on the place of the ancient settlement Intercisa, starting in the spring of 1951, were visited by the researchers from all the country. The building of a Danube Metallurgical Plant and a new city demand a keeping of archeological findings. That is why it was decided to establish a new historical museum for a new socialistic city Sztálinváros.

Since 1951, archeologists worked in hard conditions. In 1970, the museum was moved to  the modern building, and 5 years later, it got the name “Intercisa” – by a name of an ancient strengthened settlement and a military station, located in these territories many years ago.

Historical Museum Intercisa collects, keeps and shows archeological, historic and ethnographical data about Dunaujváros and its neighborhood on the permanent and temporary exhibitions. The museum can make you surprised – the earliest date of an artifact is about 6000 years, and it was made on Neolithic Age. However, the main part of the collection presents the Bronze Age.  Besides, there are ceramic and bronze elements of several archeological monuments – Kisapostag and Koziderpad. The late Iron Age is presented by Celtic silver reassures, found in the outskirts of the city.

In the 1st century, Sztálinváros was a place of the Roman military station, where the army stayed till the 5th century. The main part of the Roman findings in Historical Museum Intercisa belongs to the heritage of soldiers and citizens of a settlement, located close to the camp. The oldest artifacts were made in the 5th century, but there are items of the 17 and 18 centuries. There you can also see the relics of the Great Migration era: the Huns, Germans and Avars, the heritage of the Arpad Epoque conquests, the Hungarian people of the Middle Ages and the Turkish army. 

The authorities began to collect a museum’s ethnographical collection in 1951. That time, there was started the research of many cultural and folklore fields. Since 1954, the number of items in the collection increased. In 2007, it was about 2140 artifacts.

The permanent exhibition, devoted to the history of Dunaujváros from prehistoric to modern ages, pays much attention to the Bronze era, Roman history of a city and its surroundings, and gives detailed information about Sztálinváros building. The museum organizes workshops, unusual museum classes, entertainment programs, and educational presentations of the collections.
