Family Silverware Exhibition

A new exhibition in Hungarian National Museum features the amazing collection of silver tableware from the 18th and 19th century.

The collection of gold and silver works of art that represents country’s culture and history was started over 200 years ago. Many of the pieces were obtained by the museum during the Socialist period when many were forced to part with precious heirlooms, and acquired from Pawn Store Company, that used to be a monoplist in the antiques market in Hungary.

In addition to table silverware crafted in Hungary, the collection also features some works made outside the territory of the former Habsburg Monarchy, especially the splendid works of Viennese goldsmiths.

The exhibition will continue till 24th March, on the second floor of the Hungarian National Museum.
