Museum - Rátkay Endre - Átlók Gallery

The Museum of Pesterzsébet opened its Rátkay-Átlók Gallery in Mach 2002 when the former movie now used for exhibitions was totally renovated. The ÁTLÓK ARTIST group operated in Pesterzsébet in 1960-64 with the painter members Czétényi Vilmos, Gaál Imre and Rátkay Endre.

The artworks of all three artists will be shown in the gallery from 2008.

Permanent exhibitions

The one-man exhibition of the painter Endre Rátkay

The golden iconostas of Endre Rátkay is a unique experience. The visitors are amazed by its size: it is three and a half meters in height, fifteen meters long, and painted on a long golden basis. The icon arrangement is made up of 415 picture frames. It is the summary, the synthesis of the universal Hungarian culture of Rátkay.

Borbála Illyés Doll Exhibition

Gaál Imre memorial exhibition

Analysts often compare his art to that of Lajos Gulácsy and Béla Kondor, his compositions to Novák Aba or Lili Országh. "He was the painter of our times and he will most probably be the painter of tomorrow. Only his life belongs to yesterday."

The exhibition of the painter and graphic artist Vilmos Czétényi

The OKM application we won in 2007 helped us buy 19 pictures for the Czétényi Collection of our museum. Thus, we could show artworks for the first time and that shed light on the oeuvre of the artist from a different angle.
