Address: Fő tér 1
The Baroque Zichy mansion contains a courtyard seemingly unchanged since Habsburg times, at the back of which is the Kassák Museum (Kassák Múzeum), dedicated to the Hungarian Constructivist Lajos Kassák (1887–1967) and featuring his paintings, magazine designs, publications and possessions. A self-taught artist and publisher who devoted much of his younger life to the socialist cause (publishing work by Cocteau and Le Corbusier), Kassák's avant-garde style had little in common with Socialist Realism and he was not allowed to exhibit in his last years.
