Szentendre

Béla Czóbel, considered to be the most French of the Hungarian painters, is an internationally recognized representative of modern Hungarian fine arts. He was the first artist in Hungary to have a museum dedicated to him in his own lifetime—here in Szentendre, where he was also nominated as honorary citizen and where he probably spent most of his time besides Paris. The exhibition Czóbel Reconsidered in the freshly renovated museum on Church Hill presents the painter’s rich career in chronological order.

The permanent exhibition featuring János Kmetty’s lifework was opened in 1981 in a former 18th-century Dalmatian trading house on the southern part of quare. The artist’s widow donated his husband’s legacy to the museum. It holds primarily graphics, atelier sketches, oil paintings from the 1960s, glass window designs and stained glass windows as well as some exceptionally valuable contemporary paintings.

Folk Arts collection of Pest county. It's in one of the oldest preserved rural character, charming buildings of Szentendre. The basement makes unique this 18th-century building, because it gives the impression this is a storey house. The stone-walled cellar contents clay plastered three rooms with foot thick beams, spun twigs. The ceiling of the basement is covered with the original 18th-century wide plank elements.

One of Szentendre’s most popular museums, opened in 1973, presents the lifework of Kossuth Prize-laureate ceramic artist Margit Kovács (1902–1977). The collection was donated in 1972 by the artist, who is considered to be the innovator of Hungarian ceramic art. The over 300 works, embracing the entire lifework of Kovács, are figural compositions. The second-floor gallery of the new wing presents the reconstruction of Margit Kovács’s home on Pozsonyi Road with her potter’s wheel. The official copies of her most well-known ceramics are on display in the last room. The blind and visually impaired can also touch these.

The museum consisting of five exhibition rooms and two display halls. Located in one of the reconstructed covered depots (origin 1914) displaying the transport history of the capital and its neighbourhood.

Established as the local history collection of the town in 1951 and named after artist Károly Ferenczy, the museum was relocated to a historic monument building, the 18th-century Pajor Mansion in Kossuth Lajos Street in 2013. In 2016 the museum changed its name to Ferenczy Museum Centre, and today it owns a uniquely rich collection of Szentendre’s painting, graphic art, sculpture, and numismatic art. On the second floor of the building’s old wing one may get a taste of the works of The Eight, founders of the old artists’ settlement in 1926. The exhibition is being rearranged. There are two temporary exhibition halls on the first floor. The works of contemporary Szentendre artists are exhibited in Szentendre Hall, whereas in Barcsay Hall projects of national and international artists can be viewed.

The memorial museum presents Lajos Vajda’s surreal, expressive self-portraits, paintings, drawings, photomontages, and last works, the large-scale charcoal and ink drawings on wrapping paper. The Hungarian state purchased a significant part of the lifework from the artist’s widow, Júlia Vajda, in 1979 and donated one hundred pieces to the Ferenczy Museum.
The museum opened on 22 December 1986 in a porticoed bourgeois apartment built at the beginning of the last century offering a nice view of the Danube. It is a venue with a permanent exhibition of works by 20th-century Hungarian class.ics. The garden of the museum features works of contemporary Szentendre-based artists. A Vajda exhibition will be opened in November 2018.

The 19th-century building of the former sawmill is one of the most interesting and special exhibition venues in Hungary. Based on an idea of painters Dezső Korniss and Pál Deim, the gallery was opened to the general public on the initiative of For Szentendre’s Art Foundation in cooperation with the Szentendre Architects’ Club in June 1999. The aim of the founders was to establish a modern artists’ center. The museum hosts temporary exhibitions.
It is the atmosphere, the diverse, special spaces, and the over one and a half decades of professional history of the ArtMill that makes it a definitive center for contemporary art not only on a local, but also on an international scale.
