This exhibition, which displays the most significant pieces of the Zsolnay Ceramic Factory along with the history of the family, is in the oldest known dwelling-house of Pécs.
The Zsolnay family rapidly became well-known and highly appreciated in Europe, due to the strong leadership of the founder Vilmos Zsolnay. The family were perceptive and their experimental nature in historical and Art Nouveau styles made the Zsolnay ceramics successful at many fairs and exhibitions (Paris, London, Milan, Torino, California US). Numerous buildings belonging to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy were also decorated with Zsolnay tiles. The most famous invention of the factory was the creation of 'eosin', a metallic shiny glaze on ceramics.
Since 1989 an additional interior and gallery have displayed the furniture and the pictures painted by members of the Zsolnay family.
