Museum of applied arts - Iparművészeti múzeum
IX. Üllői út 33-37.
Budapest, 1091.
The Budapest Museum of Applied Arts was established in 1872, the third of its kind in Europe after those in London and Vienna. From the start, the Museum has collected applied art works contemporary and historical, from Hungary and abroad. As the collections expanded, a building was erected to accommodate them. The opening of the Museum building on 25 October 1896, attended by the monarch, Francis Joseph, was the grand event marking the end of Hungary's Millennium celebrations.
The Esterházy Treasury
The Museum of Applied arts has several dazzling masterpieces from the treasury of one of the wealthiest aristocratic families in Hungary, the Esterházys. Gold- and silverware, Turkish weapons, old Hungarian aristocratic costume and jewellery and many unique art works give a flavour of the lifestyle of the Hungarian aristocracy and its wealth.
