New floor was built, made from the white-grayish ceramic tiles imported from Czechoslovakia, and the electricity was introduced into the building.

The 1928 reconstruction was work of en entire group of artists, artisans and craftsmen, headed by painter Vasa Pomorišac.

Most of them originated from the older and demolished church dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God, which was located on the bank of the Tisza.

Affluence, apart from having more rooms and larger yard, also means that it has three steps at the door, as the poorer people built houses directly on the ground.

The yard is elongated, with numerous auxiliary objects, like pantry, horse stable, cart shed, barn and pigsty.

Exhibited artifacts are mostly over 100 years old (horse sleds, hand powered corn husker, special clover rake, preserved animal skulls).

Some are much older, like the large circle with several planks which was the roof construction of nomadic yurt, or the fifth century leather armor.

It features unique Pannonian habitats typified by salty, muddy ponds and lakes or their occasionally dry beds.

With the Tisa close by, species which follow the course of this river and its forest belt readily alight on this wide, open water surface.

They arrive in the late fall, migrating from the Northern Europe and are the largest crane population in the Pannonian Plane.

Several marine birds, rarely seen far from the sea, nest in the area: Kentish plover, black-winged stilt, pied avocet.

[11] Slano Kopovo has been declared a special natural reserve, Important Bird Area and a Ramsar site.
