Gizi Bajor Actor' Museum, Actor's museum in Budapest, Hungary.
The Gizi Bajor Actor Museum occupies a villa with multiple floors displaying theatrical memorabilia, costumes, and personal objects from Hungarian performers. The rooms contain an extensive collection of photographs, stage props, and original furnishings that document the lives and careers of theatre actors.
The museum was established in 1952 to preserve the legacy of Gizi Bajor, an actress who performed at the National Theatre from 1914 to 1951. Founder Hilda Gobbi created this space to document her career and that of her contemporaries in the theatre world.
The museum displays how Hungarian theatre evolved through genuine props and furnishings from different periods. Visitors can understand how performers shaped their roles and what craftsmanship went into creating the costumes and stage elements.
The museum is easily reached by public transport and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Visitors should allow enough time to explore all the exhibition rooms at a comfortable pace.
A special feature is a reconstructed royal box from the National Theatre with authentic furnishings and decorations from its period. This room gives visitors a direct sense of what the theatre experience felt like at that time.
