A Hungarian Community in Cleveland

Depicting the history of the Hungarian Buckeye Road neighborhood from the early 1900s to its demise in the late 1900s, this exhibition shows the changing neighborhood through pictures and memorabilia. Come and explore a nostalgic review of a once vibrant and close knit community, which has since dispersed into the suburbs.

&
Hungarian Applied Arts

Influence of Folk Art in Textiles & Pottery

Created for both function and beauty, and tailored and modified throughout the years to fit the to the ever-changing tastes of society, the exhibited items range from industrially mass produced to individually hand crafted items designed and produced primarily in Hungary and the United States.

The exhibition explores the various facets of the influence of folk art in textiles and pottery in applied arts. (Applied art refers to the application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use.)

The items on display show a range of design attributes borrowed from the many and various folk art regions of greater Hungary, including Transylvania. The exhibition explores creativity, form and the "look" of works of applied arts as influenced by this rich folk art heritage.
