Text and Illustration: TUMBLR/BUDAPEST BUG
It is indeed a rare treasure that the City of Szeged, Hungary, owns. This family mansion that has been standing in the heart of the City for a Century – resisting wars and changes of regime – is of outstanding, special value, even in European terms.
Its builder, Ede Magyar, who died prematurely at the age of thirty-five, was determined, brave and talented enough to defy the conservative Hungarian climate, and connect his hometown to Europe.
He brought to Szeged, a European development that not only saturated the architecture of the time with its innovative ideas, but also initiated a new approach in other art forms.
