Budapest Visitor Advice and Tourist Information
Art Nouveau Buildings in Budapest - Bedő-Haz - The House of Hungarian Art Nouveau
Budapest has many examples of beautiful Art Nouveau buildings, however one of the most remarkable is the Bedő-Haz,
( Magyar Szecesszió Háza ) which is located at Honvéd utca 3 in Budapest's downtown 5th. District.
The house was built in 1903for the Bedő family by architect Emil Vidor (1867-1952), influenced by the styles of the Belgian architects Horta and Hankar.
Although not directly damaged by the Siege of Budapest in 1945 nor by the Hungarian Revolt in 1956, the lower part of the building underwent several changes and parts of the exterior fell into disrepair. Renovation to its former glory began in 1997.
The upper floors of the building function as residential apartments and the ground floor has been converted for use as a 600 square meter permanent Art Nouveau museum and a traditional Art Nouveau style coffee house.
Temporary exhibitions are held regularly on the building's lower level, in addition to artistic round-table discussions with guest speakers and turn of the century music programs, which are held on the last Saturday of each month.
