Ráth Villa
György Ráth Villa
original name: Ráth György-villa
There is one reason to come: the main museum has been closed since 2017 and its things have to be seen somewhere. The villa is small and gives no survey of Hungarian Art Nouveau — against the Vienna MAK it amounts to a few rooms. Furniture, glass and textiles are here; the buildings for which Hungarian Art Nouveau is remembered stayed out on the streets of the city.
Minimum route
45–75 minutes
What to see
Hungarian and European Art Nouveau: furniture, glass, ceramics and textiles of the turn of the twentieth century from the holdings of the Museum of Applied Arts. The villa itself, with its late nineteenth-century interiors.
Minimum route — 45–75 minutes for the essentials
30 minutes in the Art Nouveau rooms. 15 minutes with the interiors of the villa.
Reference
About the museum
The villa belonged to György Ráth (1828–1905), collector and first director of the Museum of Applied Arts. It is now a branch of that museum and shows Hungarian and European Art Nouveau. While the main house on Üllői út stays shut, this is the only place where the collection can be seen.
