Museum of Applied Arts<br />
64<br />
In 1890, the government invited entries for a competition to design the palace of the Museum of Applied Arts. Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos<br />
won the competition based mainly on their inclusion of Oriental designs in their plans. The palace-like building was opened for the millennium<br />
celebrations by Franz Jozef, on the 25th of October, 1896. This magnificent building shows the features of the early secession. Its fascinating<br />
colourful dome is covered by Zsolnay porcelain tiles, catching the attention of the passers-by. The inside of the great hall, presents us with another<br />
sight that cannot be missed.
