Csontvary Museum, Pecs

The Csontvary Museum was established in 1973 on the basis of artist Gedeon Gerloczy's collection. The building itself was built at the turn of the last century.

Most of the oeuvre of this great painter can be admired here. The museum features over 100 pictures from 15 years of artwork from Gerloczy.

National Theatre, Pecs, Hungary

In the 1880's the Pecs' city council set up a committee to coordinate the planning of a new theatre. The design competition was won by Adolf Lang and Adolf Steinhardt. The first performance in the new theatre was held on 5 October 1895 with the play Bánk bán.

The theatre was nationalized between 1949 and 1989. The chamber theatre was opened, which was transformed to a children's theatre in 1965. After the theatre building's deterioration worsened in the middle of the 1980s, a 5 year long reconstruction started in 1986, equipping the theatre with a modern orchestra pit and new machinery.
