Step into history and explore the world of Gül Baba!
The permanent exhibition focuses on the remarkable personality of Gül Baba, the centuries-long history of the Tomb, and everyday life in 16th-century Ottoman-era Hungary.
Since its opening in October 2018, visitors have enthusiastically explored this unique experience: thousands walk through the exhibition rooms every month, made accessible again thanks to recent heritage conservation works. The basement of the Wágner Villa — closed to the public for decades — now serves as a unique venue for a journey through time.
Here you can discover
The history of Ottoman rule and Turkish–Hungarian relations
through unique objects that accompanied daily life in Buda for centuries.
The mysterious world of the dervishes
showcased through life-size wax figures that bring history almost back to life.
Treasures from the turn of the century
objects gifted to the Gül Baba Tomb by the Ottoman Palace.
Legends and stories
that spread widely in the 20th century and still surround the figure of Gül Baba today.
This exhibition is not only a historical journey but a true experience — a discovery that connects the secrets of the past with the curiosity of the present.
