The Ottó Herman Museum is the largest museum of Miskolc, Hungary. It has more than 600,000 artifacts. Its main focus is on archaeology, mineralogy, arts, history and ethnography.

History

The museum was founded in 1899 under the name Borsod-Miskolcz Museum (Borsod is the historical county whose capital is Miskolc, and Miskolcz is an archaic spelling of the name of the city.) It went into state property in 1949. The museum took the name of the famous polyhistor Ottó Herman in 1953. From 1963 it collects artifacts not only from Miskolc and Borsod, but from the whole unified Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county.
