Museum of Applied Arts (Budapest)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Museum of Applied Arts is a museum in Budapest, Hungary.
This Art Nouveau building was built between 1893 and 1896 by the plans of Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos. It is one of the most characteristic and most representative forms of Lechner's Hungarian architectural style, first of all appearing in the Hungarian folksy ceramics, including Zsolnay pottery and majolica, also showing Islamic and Hindu motives. (Another example of this style is the Geological Institute not far from City Park.)
It is located near the southern end of the Grand Boulevard and it can be easily reached on metro line 3.
