The Mineral Water Museum draws the attention to the value of the waters of the region, and to the history of the drinking – water and spa – culture that is based on these waters. The residence of the Museum is Tuşnad, a place where locals, tourists and guests stop to take water with them. This way the museum gives the possibility to these people to take a look into a different kind of tourism that is calm, wears boots and has a special theme.

The Museum has as its residence as a yurt – shaped building, to emphasize that during the visit we walk over a “mineral water path” that begins with the steam bath of the Scythian and Hungarian shamans and ends with the modern spa – culture of today.
