Massa Museum in Lillafüred, Miskolc

The Massa Museum is dedicated to a hundred-year history of iron processing in Hamor and the activities of the Fazola family, which played an important role in Miskolc at a time when mining and processing of iron ore had just begun.

Visitors can try to work with tools and see the everyday life of the smiths of the past.
