Csonka János Emlékmúzeum

Housed in the building that once contained János Csonka’s workshop, this focused museum preserves original documents, tools and early vehicles built to Csonka’s designs. Exhibits highlight his role in early carburetor development and small-scale vehicle engineering.

The museum opened in 2012 for Csonka’s 160th anniversary and operates mainly on Saturdays, with group visits available by prior arrangement. It’s a compact, specialist stop for transport and engineering history enthusiasts in Budapest’s District XI.
