The Town Gallery of Mezőkövesd was opened in 1986, in one of the most attractive buildings of the town. Citizens were happy to see the transfer of an office into a cultural institution.

The Cultural House was given the opportunity to arrange its exhibitions in this new place. Besides the temporal exhibitions there is a permanent exhibition, too. This displays the most wonderful items of the world-famous Matyó embroydery.
The Gallery also gives place to fine and applied arts, and photograph exhibitions.

The town is not only unique for its embroydery, but many famous artists of fine and applied arts, pottery and textile industry were born or lived here, too. The concept of the Town Gallery is to secure permanent exhibition opportunities to the artists that live here.
Obviously we gladly exhibit the works of contemporary artists from other areas of the country as well.

Becouse of financial reasons we have to close the gallery for the heating season, but we are hoping we can soon be open throughout the whole year.
