MEMORIAL HOUSE AND COLLECTION

Miksa Róth and his family moved to the street fronted building at 26. Nefelejcs street, where today’s museum operates, in 1911. In the backside of his former yard, his huge workshop building is still standing. The artist passed away in 1944 and soon the property was nationalised. Members of his family, however, the widow and two of the children continued to live in certain parts of the street fronted building up until their death. In the 1990s ideas about converting the house and the heritage into a museum started to take shape, culminating in 1999, when the former family home got its licence for opening as the Róth Miksa Memorial House and Collection.
