Baja - István Türr Museum

This museum is devoted to life by the Danube together with modern Hungarian art. It was named after a famous son of the town (1825-1908) who fought with General Garibaldi in the struggle for a unified Italy and later made a name for himself as an hydraulic engineer, assisting in the construction of the Panama and Corinth canals and others in the Hungarian lowlands. A statue of him stands at the entrance to the museum which is built in the neo-classical style.
