The Kassák Museum, that belongs to the Petőfi Literary Museum, has operated since 1976. The function of the museum is to preserve the material and intellectual legacy of Lajos Kassák (1887 Érsekújvár – 1967 Budapest, writer, editor, artist) to study it with scientific approach and to present it as a colorful experience to visitors. Our aim is that the museum step up to be an acknowledged location of Kassák researches carried out in the region and to become a factor in the international research of modernism.
Over the past few years, the Kassák Museum has completely revamped its internal space and overall concept. In 2012, our new identity won two of the world’s most prestigious design awards (red dot: communication design and Good Design). We welcome visitors to explore Lajos Kassák’s life through our permanent exhibition of his highly influential periodicals, while our temporary exhibitions present the avant-garde and modernism in their art history, cultural, and social contexts. Our exhibitions are accompanied by thematic lecture series as well as events for families and children. Primary- and middle-school groups can sign up for various educational activities on the art history, literary, social and cultural history dimensions of the avant-garde.
