Erdők Háza
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Kaposvár, Erdők Háza (House of Forests) feels less like a traditional museum and more like a portal into the Hungarian wilderness. You're immediately enveloped by the scent of pine and the soft, dappled light filtering through a canopy of leaves, even before you see the exhibits. It’s an immersive journey that reveals the hidden life of the woods, from the intricate world of mycelium underfoot to the majestic birds of prey soaring overhead. This place makes you understand a forest not as a collection of trees, but as a living, breathing community.
Collection Highlights
Walk through a life-sized diorama of a beech and oak forest, complete with the sounds of wildlife, and get up close with interactive displays on forest ecosystems. Don't miss the stunning collection of native Hungarian antlers and the educational hive that lets you peer into the secret life of bees.
