The village museum in Căpâlnița opened its doors in 2005, in the ruined house, built by the Orbán family in the 1890s and renovated by the Kriza János School Foundation. Here came the ethnographic collection of retired teacher Balázs Irénke, who in the late 1950s and early 1960s began collecting or buying old furniture, household items and clothes on her own.

Because Bálint Irma, the then principal of the school, supported the initiative, the entire collection was donated to the school.

The museum has three rooms: a clean room, living room and pantry, where we can see the conditions of rural life in the nineteenth century. We find here everything from bed arranged shuffled noodle from loom to ticks wooden salt shaker or number being about 250 exhibits.
