Industrial museums
 

The evolvement and general interest in technology- and technology history related museology is mainly associated with the rapid development of technology these days. If industry- and technology history related relics are not maintained by museums in time, they will disappear or perish in an ever increasing pace, not acquirable for future generations. It is predominantly the task of museums to save these relics but collectors, owners of collections, e.g. foundations, companies, and a number of private collectors may take part in preserving technology related relics.

Besides, we call public utility museum collection or public utility museum exhibition rooms several existing museum institutes involved in technology- and technology history. These, one way or another, represent the development of technology- and technology history in Hungary. These include museums holding museum licences. However, we are aware that a great number of collections, some of great value, are owned by private collectors or collectors of some other kind. Some of these collections are related to technology (radio, tape recorder, bicycle, and car collections, as well as collections of agricultural machines, office appliances, computers and so on).

There are 83 entries of technology museum institutes holding museum licences 'alive' in the register of the Ministry of Education and Culture. These include standard museums such as the Hungarian Museum for Science, Technology and Transport, but also some that were closed temporarily but still kept their licence.

The list of owners is the most variable. Some collections are owned by national or self-governmental institutes, some by funds or companies, but some are still in private hands. The number of technology related collections lessened in the past years but there are examples of freshly opened collections holding museum licence.
