SPECIALITIES



The wooden-clock, made in 1943 by Székely Albert, handyman from Józseffalva, had been placed in the Szekely room during the closing celebration series of the millennium. The craftsman got the hang of the structure of clocks by retouching old clocks among being a carpenter. After that he had the opportunity to realize his dream, to create a 2 meters high "parlor-clock". The contemporary Newsreel had reported about the clock, brought out on the sale of Szabadka. The clock is one of the favorite items of the visitors of the Peasant House, it enjoys large popularity because of its destiny and its artistic value as well.
