Bigot Pavilon exhibition at the Museum of Applied Arts

Posted on August 26, 2013 by Budapest Guide

We mostly recommend our next article to those who love to admire. We are talking about an exhibition at the beautiful and symbolic museum of Budapest, the Museum of Applied Arts. Visitors could see a part of the museum’s 2013 project of Art Nouveau with the title Bigot Pavilon.

Everything started in 1900 when they organized the “Art Nouveau World Expo” in Paris. The Museum of Applied Arts director was Radisics Jenő, who bought several beautiful pieces here. The bought things included Alexander Bigot’s several works, architectural specimens, like ashlars, fireplace frames, plastic decorated columns, consoles and friezes. The bought objects have been in the Museum of Decorative Art’s (Applied Arts) warehouse and in addition to the XX century’s audience in Paris nobody could see them – until now.

The museum decided to release Radasics’s best purchases; moreover they completed it with a drinking set what made in the Bigot’s ceramics factory around 1900. The drinking set’s form, incredibly beautiful gloss, demanding silver socket evoke luxury and wealth. Actually the museum could buy this piece with the government’s help in the end of 2012. Between the exhibited objects there are building ceramics, what you can see on secession buildings’ and palaces’ frontage in Paris today too.

If you spend some day in Budapest and you are fascinated by the Museum of Applied Arts building, feel free yourself and check this and the other exhibitions too!

In London you can find a whole lot of amazing museums, but one of the nicest of them all is the Victoria and Albert museum. But, instead of traveling to London to see the museum we have a better suggestion. Visit the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest instead, and see more than 320 objects from the museum in London exhibited there.

The exhibition is open from today (June 15th) and will be available until September 16th. The subject of the exhibition is among others; What did they consider art during the industrial revolution? What was considered pretty during those days? Is it only now a problem with ugly mass production, or was it a problem back then as well?

This exhibition has not arrived directly from London to Budapest, as it has been exhibited in Bonn for quite a while, and from there they transported it on to Budapest.
