Went there on a wet day. Two other visitors, loads of attendants.Crazy. A wonderful collection of artefacts in various media, tapestry glass ceramics metal, from all over Europe and in a sort of domestic setting. No labels but they give you a copy of the catalogue on spec which is all you need. Costs 1000 if you want to keep it. A most enjoyable morning.

The museum is located in a typical 19th century Budapest palace that remained intact and is open for public. This itself makes the visit worthwhile, but on top of it the collection of furnitures and artifacts from different schools is also fascinating. Ráth György was the first director of the (currently closed) Museum of Applied Arts. It was his villa and most of the objects are from his personal collections.

I visited the temporary exhibition in Secessionist design with a friend. The atmosphere is breathtaking. The music also helped us to return to this era. I was especially fascinated by the interior design, the furniture. I could approach the exhibits, there were no ropes around them. We just loved the dresses, fans and hats put on display together, the jewellry. The staff was very kind and helpful.
