Despite the advances of modernity, imposing the serialized objects without any soul, in all of Hungary a rich craftsmanship has managed to survive (imposing itself over wars, ghettos, regimes and different reconversions), which will delight even the most demanding and sybarite Western traveller. The delicate porcelains and the clay objects stand out, but there´s also interest in the carpets and the clothes adorned with embroideries. The younger ones of the household can enjoy themselves with the wooden toys painted with bright colours. So the traveller, while in Budapest, cannot miss a visit to Folk Art Centrum. There he´ll find a great variety of products of these crafts jobs who have managed to survive along time to gift us beautiful and unique objects with great artistic force.
At Folk Art Centrum you can buy magnificent embroidered ´Hungarian stitched´ tablecloths full of colour, enameled ceramics, hand-painted porcelain, traditional dresses (which can be combined with a daring look), carpets, toys like the ones from the old days, Christmas decorations and even elaborated dishes following the local recipes. A good idea is to take an empty suitcase to apartments in Budapest and then fill it up with original gifts for family and friends.
