The Danube Reformed Church District's ecclesiastical art collection was founded in 1967. It has been a museum since 1983 in Kecskemét. The parent institution is the Ráday Collection in Budapest; another part is the Bible Museum on Ráday Street in Pest.

This district is the largest Reformed church administration unit in Hungary. The collection area of themuseum covers the whole church district, including material (historical sources, fine arts, industrial and folk art) representing the life and history of the churches in Kebel. The material of the museum today is mostly donated, to introduce visitors to the life of Calvinist churches. It presentd the typical furnishings of churches, the liturgical traditions of the Reformed worship, and the ensembles of objects associated with it. These, though made with special needs, carry the typical styles of their age.

Exhibits cover cultural history, church history, art history, and related objects.

Ókollégium: The Ráday Museum is located in the building of the Old College of Kecskemét. The Old sign indicates that this is the older school building of the Kecskemét Reformed Church. Here, like the big mother schools (Debrecen, Sárospatak, Pápa), multilevel education took place. Today, the word "college" means primary and secondary education and a Reformed college providing student accommodation. For a long time, this college was the most important school in the district. The later erected school building is called Újkollégium (Kecskemét).

Technical design of the Old College was made by József Hofrichter (1779-1835), a master builder from Pest, whose best known work is the Calvinist Church in Budapest. According to plans, construction began in the spring of 1830 under the supervision of local master Augustus Fischer.

In 1865, a hanging corridor was built towards the courtyard façade to better access the halls.
