The Manor ouse of the Ady family
THE MANOR HOUSE OF THE ADY FAMILY The new house of the Ady family was finished in 1911. It was built according to the model of the manorhouses, with three chambers, one hall and a kitchen, while, along the main faţade, a veranda was built, half open, half closed with glass. The main chamber was used by the parents, but it was in fact the living-room and the dining-room at the same time. The room on the corner belonged to the brother of the poet, Lajos Ady and his wife, Anna Kaizler, while the third room was reserved to Endre Ady. The interiors are arranged now according to archive photos with the remaining furniture of the family, in addition the personal objects and the portraits of the family members are exhibited. During the interwar period, the furniture of the poet’s chamber was donated by the family in order to create a memorial museum at Budapest. Therefore, the arrangement of this room was reconstructed according to archive documents, while several volumes of the poetic oeuvre are exhibited here, some with autograph dedication of the poet. In the hall, the exhibition presents the principal stages of the life and activity of the poet, together with memorial issues of journals, publications and objects. 7
