The house standing on the slopes of Gellért Hill treasures a unique archives. As a result of efforts made by the family and especially by Zoltán Bartha, Medgyaszay’s son-in-law, it was salvaged in good conditions to function now as a well-kept systemized memorial house treasuring and opening the collection, a genuine curiosity to the public. The building is the survivor of a long carefree period presenting the oeuvre and spiritual heritage of a uniquely talented architect more authentically than its former equivalent.
