Hortobágy Shepherd Museum
Hortobágyi Pásztormúzeum
A small museum in an old carriage shed beside the Nine-holed Bridge, showing the clothing, tools and way of life of grassland herders.
The Shepherd Museum is housed in an 18th-century carriage shed beside the Nine-holed Bridge and the old coaching inn. It displays the traditional clothing, whips, wood-carved tools and livestock breed information of Hortobágy herders, including cowherds, horse herders, swineherds and shepherds. This helps visitors understand the background of the grassland culture of this World Heritage landscape. The museum is small, and a visit takes about 30–40 minutes. It is often combined with the visitor centre exhibits and carriage rides on one ticket. It may close in winter.
