The Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest (Iparművészeti Múzeum) is one of the most important European museums dedicated to design, decorative arts, and artistic craftsmanship. Founded in 1872, it is located in a distinctive building designed by Ödön Lechner, considered the "Hungarian Gaudí," which combines Art Nouveau elements and traditional Hungarian motifs.

The museum houses a vast collection of over 100,000 objects including furniture, textiles, ceramics, glass, precious metals, and jewelry, from both Hungary and around the world. A special section is dedicated to oriental decorative arts, featuring exquisite porcelain, lacquerware, and Persian carpets.

Among the most appreciated pieces are European design artifacts from the Renaissance to the 20th century, as well as masterpieces of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. The museum regularly hosts temporary exhibitions dedicated to contemporary design, jewelry, and visual arts, making it a reference point for art and creativity enthusiasts.

The building itself is a must-see attraction, with its spectacularly decorated facade and enameled green roof making it one of the most fascinating examples of Hungarian architecture.
