Budapest: Museum of Applied Arts

in #architecture • 6 years ago

While in Budapest, we visited an amazing and unique museum. It's called The Museum of Applied Arts (Iparművészeti Múzeum) and is housed in one of the most representative Hungarian Art Nouveau buildings. Traditional Hungarian design elements merged with Islamic and Hindu motifs along with Art Noveau influence characterize the building. The museum, designed by architect Ödön Lechner and built between 1893 and 1896, is richly decorated with terracotta tiles.

The Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest was established in 1872 and it opened as the world's third applied arts museum. The rich permanent collection includes Hungarian folk ceramics, medieval goldsmith works, French furniture, Ottoman carpets, Baroque gold ware, Tiffany glass and Zsolnay ceramics. Temporary exhibitions range from 16th century costumes to contemporary design items. Source

Everything was intricate















It was more like a palace





I particularly liked their Art Nouveau collection!



Which is mostly what I photographed as well.
