2025-11-14T13:00:00.000Z

After Pest-Buda, Szolnok was the second major center of Hungarian painting. From the 1850s onwards, more and more Austrian painters spent their summers here, and later Lajos Deák-Ébner, László Mednyánszky, János Vaszary, and Adolf Fényes also visited, until the Szolnok artists' colony was officially established in 1902, which has been in continuous operation ever since.

Schedule

For a long time, Szolnok was the terminus for trains arriving from the west, so for artists arriving from Vienna, Paris, and Pest, the exotic and mysterious world of the East began here. The scorching sun, the wide flow of the Tisza, herds, stud farms, colorful folk costumes, and the old world, which has hardly changed at all compared to previous centuries.

During our guided tour, we will explore the memorial exhibition Images of Silence. Adolf Fényes (1867-1945) and related works in the permanent exhibition.

You can take part in the guided tours with a ticket to the permanent or temporary exhibition and a guided tour ticket (1500 HUF).
