'Passion For Saving The Values', Museum Of Applied Arts, Until 20 April |
 "For the first time in 100 years the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts presents a unique selection of Hungarian private collections. In 1907 the glass hall of the museum was packed full of European and Eastern artefacts selected from private collections.The temporary exhibition titled “Passion for saving the values” is organized as the follow-up to the former applied art exhibition that paraded the carefully guarded masterpieces of the aristocrats and members of the upper middle class.
It can be seen between the 20th January and 20 April 2008. The exhibition that presents over 600 works of art from 65 private collectors is a living proof of the dedication of Hungarian collectors to preserve the values.
The material spans to the whole spectrum of the applied arts from the Middle Ages to the Swarovski-crystals. Many museums would be proud to call some of the pieces their own: gothic carvings, orthodox icons, drapery from Brussels from the 17th century, eastern carpets, Zsolnay-porcelain, decorated weapons, Buddhist home-altars, Japanese wood engravings, art deco cabinets, silver jewellery, rare gold pieces and ceramic treasures from sunken ships."
