Blue Painting. Museum. Pápa.
Hungary's one and only blue painting museum on a European level which presents the entire work process of blue painting.
In our museum you get introduced to the secrets of a complicated procedure and you can learn that it is not a dead craft at all, but is still blossoming today. In November of 2018 blue painting got on the list of UNESCO intellectual cultural heritage.
At our exhibitions, visitors can get a taste of the works of active Hungarian workshops and former masters in an old fair environment. In the more than 250-year-old, three-story drying building, the former workshop comes to life through guided tours.
On the drying attic Irén Bódy Munkácsy Mihály awarded industrial artist’s masterpieces that show you the blue painting modern, artistic way and make the museum experience unforgettable. The remaining machine park is also worth mentioning, as the steam engine of the famous Viennese company Hoffmeister, manufactured in 1912, can be seen in perfect condition, as well as one of a kind horse powered mangle.
