This 17th-century monument building was once the home of János Kreszta, spice merchant. At present, it houses an exhibition showcasing the life’s work of Margit Kovács (1902-1977), ceramic artist and Győr native. The exhibition is valuable as it is one of two locations which feature the folk art inspired statues, figurines, ornamental objects as well as Biblically-themed compositions by the mother of modern Hungarian ceramic art. Kovács’s other exhibition can be found in Szentendre.
