Folk Treasures of Southern Hungary Painted Furniture and Onion-Growing Tools from Makó – An exhibition from the Ethnographic Collection of the József Attila Museum, Makó The town of Makó, located in Southern Hungary on the right bank of the Maros River, boasts nearly 800 years of history as a traditional market town. This exhibition presents a selection of 19th century household objects reflecting the everyday life of the rural population. The painted furniture – such as hope chests, benches, “thinking chairs,” coat racks, and wall cupboards – was commonly adorned with floral motifs during this period, revealing the refined aesthetic sense of the local people. Makó's prosperity was largely built on onion cultivation, and the exhibition also showcases the hand tools and specialized equipment used in this important agricultural tradition.
Exhibition is open from August 14th to September 15th.
Opening hours: Mon-Fri 10 am - 6 pm.
