Hungarian Secession Collection

From the heights of the Citadella, we can look down upon a cityscape defined by the architecture and art of the turn of the century. Walking the streets of Budapest, we encounter the stunning architectural legacy of the nation's economic and cultural boom at every turn. The prominent movement of this era is Hungarian Secession, which blends classic European elegance with rich, traditional Hungarian folk and floral motifs.

One of the most magnificent domestic symbols of this style is the Museum of Applied Arts, built for the 1896 Millennium celebrations based on the designs of Ödön Lechner. With its vibrant Zsolnay ceramic roof and a design vocabulary combining Eastern and Hungarian motifs, the building itself is an architectural masterpiece. Our exclusive collection celebrates this unparalleled elegance: the design was inspired by the famous stained glass windows of the legendary master, Miksa Róth, who decorated the interior of the museum.

If you are familiar with the Vienna Secession and the works of Gustav Klimt, the intricate details of the Hungarian movement will also captivate you!
