Museum - Borsos Miklós Memorial House

The Miklós Borsos Arts Found of Gyergyócsomafalva was established in 1992. Its objective is to tend and keep the art and spiritual heritage of Miklós Borsos alive. The Miklós Borsos Memorial House opened on 28 June 2002 hosts the Found.

The Memorial House is located near the main road, on the old Borsos estate, at 1521. The house is divided by a river flowing in the middle.

The Miklós Borsos permanent exhibition is located in the right wing where Borsos's personal articles and tools are shown. The collection includes original pieces, tint-drawings, medals and small statues mostly shown for the first time. Among the personal articles, there is Borsos's tulip ornamented chest, manuscript, books illustrated by him, books dedicated by his friends etc.

The Miklós Borsos Art Found Office is located in the right wing by other rooms where temporary exhibitions of contemporary artists are held monthly. The "soul bell" that asks for the help of the Virgin Mary and calls the attention of the ghost of the house is in the attic room in the back. The bell was the present of Borsos's kin, Melinda Szotyory from the USA.

Permanent exhibitions

Borsos Miklós memorial exhibition

Miklós Borsos began his career as a painter but turned to sculpturing in 1932 while he also kept to drawing. His art comes from the inside, his private spiritual, emotional and intellectual needs. He was motivated by becoming an artist as a painter. At the beginning, he was principally attracted to forms and practiced engraving in his father’s workshop. His drawing skill furthered his becoming a sculptor.
