The exhibition immerses visitors in the rich world of 1930s Hungarian applied arts. Through furniture, textile patterns, and packaging designs, the creativity of leading Hungarian furniture designers and graphic artists comes to life, revealing the visual influences that still shape our world today. It offers a glimpse into the modernist homes of the era, capturing both innovation and style.
Inside the Artists’ Lives
The display brings together the spaces and objects from over forty years of shared life between the artist couple Gyula Kaesz and Kató Lukáts. Their final home on Petőfi Square (Petőfi tér) is carefully recreated, featuring original furnishings and interior details, all in one location.
Tracing Design Evolution
Visitors can follow Hungarian furniture design as it shifts from the Art Deco pieces of the 1920s to the more restrained modernism of the 1930s and 1940s. Beyond curator-led tours, the show features personal walkthroughs with architect Zoltán Tima, architecture storyteller Dávid Zubreczki, art historian Tünde Topor, and art journalist Nóra Winkler. Open until July 27.
