Róth House
Miksa Róth Memorial House
original name: Róth Miksa Emlékház és Gyűjtemény
Róth’s work stands in the Hungarian parliament, in the Academy of Music and in the Gresham Palace, but there it is seen from below and from a distance. Here it is seen at arm’s length, in the windows it was made for. There is no collection as such: a house and a workshop, an hour to walk both. In the summer of 2026 there is no point in coming before 5 September.

Reference
About the museum
Miksa Róth (1865–1944) kept his stained glass and mosaic workshop in this house; the building on the street was the family’s home. The museum opened in November 1999 and has kept the fittings of both. In the summer of 2026 the house is shut for building work until 4 September.

If this moved you
In the same city
If the windows in the maker’s own house make you want the furniture and glass of the same years beside them, Hungarian Art Nouveau is gathered at the Ráth Villa.
Abroad
If stained glass as a craft has caught you, Moscow keeps it in Shekhtel’s house on Malaya Nikitskaya, where windows, mosaic frieze and a wave of a staircase work together.
