Museum of Ceramics Margit Kovacs

The Margit Kovács Ceramics Museum was built in the Baroque style at the beginning of the 18th century. This place displays the works of a Hungarian ceramicist and sculptor. In 2011, the exhibition was expanded and reorganized. Here you can not only get acquainted with the works of a famous person, but also get inspiration for your own creativity.

History of the Margit Kovacs Museum of Ceramics

Hungary has long been famous for its outstanding representatives in sports, politics, and also in art. Many people from this state have become world stars in the field of fiction, as well as in the field of painting and other fields of art. One of the brightest personalities in art was Margit Kovacs, who was a famous ceramics master not only in Hungary, but throughout Western Europe.

During her lifetime, Margit made more than several thousand ceramic works, which surprised many Hungarians with their eccentricity and unusual approach to creativity from a variety of angles. Margit decided to bequeath all the works to her beloved city, which later formed the basis for the creation of the Margit Kovacs Museum of Ceramics, popular in narrow circles. This museum is located in one of the most historical areas of 18th century Budapest.

Features of the Margit Kovacs Museum

The building itself is not particularly remarkable - it is made in a classical European style, above the entrance to the building you can see bas-reliefs, above which caricatures of women holding pottery wheels are depicted, and there is also a sign here - “This is the Margit Kovacs Museum of Ceramics.” The Margit Kovács collection has repeatedly won various awards and prizes in various competitions held not only in Hungary, but also in many other European cities.

It should be noted that it will be difficult for a simple tourist to understand the meaning of certain museum exhibits, since in many ways Margit tried to put into various images of people made of clay. Here you can see ceramic jugs, ceramic figurines of men and women, as well as the city of Budapest in miniature design in ceramics, which is one of the most popular exhibits of the museum.

If you are a fan of this field of art or you like various ceramic products, be sure to visit the Margit Kovacs Museum of Ceramics, which is one of the few museums with a narrow tourist focus.
