Margit Kovács Ceramic Museum

I like the way Szentendre has so many small museums each one dedicated to just one artist/craftsman. Here you can see a great collection of Margit Kovacs ceramic works. The entry price of 1700 HUF will also give you access to other museums around the town, so make sure you keep the receipt. There's a particular one way circuit around this exhibition. I nearly missed some of it as I couldn't understand Hungarian and the staff couldn't understand English. But with a bit of gesturing, I found the right way around.

The lady on the entry apologised for us having to pay full price (non EU) but our tickets covered a number of museums and galleries. We had never heard of Margit Kovács but absolutely loved her work. We spent a long time wandering slowly around this small museum. I would say this place alone is enough reason to come to Szentendre, even just for the day from Budapest. Very nearby is the excellent Café Christine, looking over the Danube.

Go and see the fantastic Margit Kovács Ceramics Museum. It is strange to discover an amazing potter from before and during the Communist era here in Hungary. One of her works is a round ceramic 3x3 meter world map with the USSR in the middle. We lived side by side in Europe but each with our own center of the world. Margit Kovác's ceramics are some of the most expressive I have ever seen.

What a lovely magical place! I am glad to have discovered the beautiful and strong works of this great ceramic artist. I loved the Madonnas, the mourners, the women, the animals... all in fact 🙂. There is even a space to touch some pieces. Nice ladies in the exhibition explain and show you. …

A must to see place while visiting Szentendre. Just down from the main square. One of the most famous Hungarian artist Margit Kovacs lived and worked there. Great cut through her work. Outstanding pieces of art. Little shop, Cafe and WCs available too.
