János Fridrich Photo Studio 1905

The last I posted about this museum was in 2006 ; but recently I found the following shots of the studio and thanks to photographer Nagy Béla for allowing me to share them here. Isn't it just charming ?

Inside 19th century urban house

Does this photo trigger your interest in taking a free tour inside the urban house?
click YES / NO to continue ..

That's where we were yesterday. After paying less than 2 Euro, we gained entrance to the lovely 176 year-old house. The place formerly belonged to Dr. Péter Pál where he had his practice, giving medical attention to the anyone that walked into his clinic/house. Treating rich and poor alike. Oh, what a great man/house ;)

People 6 : at work

Paris DP's reflection reminded me of this shot. The man on the left is a seasoned photographer who is now working at the the town's 100 year-old photo studio/gallery . He had to stop photography due to his weakening eye-sight; which causes him some trouble focusing a camera. While we were there, he explained every piece with passion, telling us stories behind each photo. While we had a good time, I do hope he enjoys his work:)

Later, we found out that his name is Dömötör Mihály, the photographer of the complimentary post-card we got from the visit .

Town's archive

Before entering Koszta Jószef Museum (went there Wed. afternoon), I imagine that I'll take lots of photos of significant pieces in the museum - Excited! ..forgetting the usual rule of no photo taking in museum (unless you pay) . I thought in a small museum this rule won't apply . Of course, that's wishful thinking!! I did managed to take a shot of a window on the inside while the exterior shot (below) was taken last week. All in all, an interesting experience and fortunately, they do have English titles for the paintings :)


Some info :-
The building you see is the recently restored County Hall which housed the precious museum pieces. The pieces include archaelogical findings, clothing of forefathers and human relics of bones . The collection is nationally acknowledged by the turn of the century
