The Budapest Museum of Applied Arts was established in 1872, the third of its kind in Europe after those in London and Vienna.
From the start, the Museum has collected contemporary and historical works from Hungary and abroad. Its collections have come from several sources.
(Vienna 1873, Paris 1878, Paris 1889) and gifts by companies (Herend Porcelain Manufactory, Zsolnay). The collection of the collection of antiques from the Hungarian National Museum, .
The Museum of Applied Arts has several dazzling masterpieces from the treasury of one of the wealthiest aristocratic families in Hungary, the Esterházys. Gold- and silverware, Turkish weapons, old Hungarian aristocratic costume and jewelery and many unique art works give a flavor of the Hungarian aristocracy's lifestyle and its wealth.
An interesting piece in the collection is a table decoration showing the triumph of Bacchus made by the famous Augsburg goldsmith Abraham I. Drentwett. The Vezekény Platter, by Philipp Jakob Drentwett, is a memorial to the great hope László Esterházy (1626-1652) and the other members of the family who fell in the Battle of Vezekény. There are many other masterpieces by foreign (Hans Petzolt) and Hungarian (Sebestyén Hann) craftsmen in the treasury.
The treasury was held in the castle of Fraknó (Forchnstein, Austria) until the end of the First World War, when most of it was taken to Budapest. During the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919, together with other private collections, the treasures were taken to the Museum. Since the Museum took great care of them, Duke Miklós Esterházy entered into a deposit agreement in 1920, confirmed by his son Duke Pál in 1923. In 1944, however, the Soviet army approached, the art works were placed in the palace in Buda Castle, which received a direct hit during the siege of Budapest. It was only in 1948-1949 that the palace was opened up and the damaged treasures retrieved. The brilliant work of the restorers continues today, re-assembling out of fragments each masterpiece of the only Hungarian aristocratic treasury which survives intact.
