Exhibition - Building engineering, Past, Presents and Future

Where also the king goes on foot - goes the saying. Do we know where exactly kings used to go?. What was the room like they visited? What was in it? Or what did our grandparents bath?

The exhibition Building Services Engineering: Past, Present and Future' at the Museum of Transportation reviews the development off heating and cooling of houses, as well as the innovations in the furnishing of baths and kitchens. The exhibition that is open until 27 October 27 will show the "devil's bathtubs " stoves on which our grandmothers cooked, elaborate fireplaces , radiators and all the many equipment that evoke this "secret" story.

What is the Heating Like? What is the bathroom like? - Maybe most important question next to the size is that we ask in relation to a house, when we are looking for a new home.

From wood, or coal-fired stoves, and from lavatory to tub that was often a very common scene even at the beginning of the 20th, or the middle of it. Today I've got computer-controlled renewable energy used in heating, bathroom luxury flats etc. Today in an average home we find more complicated installations in the bathroom the kitchen and the whole house in the service of the tenants . This is the story and evolution of building services engineering: Everybody uses them, but almost never think about them.

The joint exhibition of Building Services Engineering Museum and the Hungarian Museum of Technology and Transport tells us this interesting, but secret story. It presents the beautiful devices that were previously only showed in eccentric, modernizing houses, that gave hot water without heaps of coal and wood and one day became part of every home.
