MŰSZAKI SZAKMÚZEUMOK - Pál Vajda: Industrial Museums in Hungary (in English)

Astronomical Exposition adapted by other countries. Their value consists of being so complete. The book of ciphered recipes and dyeing samples sticked thereon, from the year 1809, deserves special interest. The Foundation Chart in original and photocopies, tags from 1783, a map about the travelling routes of the masters of the Kluge family, the medals gained in different exhibitions, various documents, geographic marketing plans of the dye-house, a handwritten regulation from 1869 which ensured the social and financial benefit of the traveller artisans, and other goods of different arts and designs are displayed. Part of the design collection is identical with that of the neighbouring countries supplemented, however, by a great number of original Hungarian designs. The collection in special glass cabinets demonstrates not only the Hungarian folkloristic costumes but also the indigo-printed dresses of the nationalities. The principal aim in selecting this exhibition material was to remind the next generations of the indigo-printed costumes slowly forgotten, as well as the different usages and keepsakes of the manual and mechanised indigo printing processes. In the attractive North Hungarian baroque town of Eger, extremely rich in historical relics and museum pieces, the first permanent Astronomical Exposition of Hungary.
