Szolnok gallery

Szolnok gallery, Art museum and former synagogue in Szolnok, Hungary.

The Szolnok Gallery occupies the former Szolnok Synagogue, designed by Lipót Baumhorn and completed in 1898 at Templom út 2. The building measures 19.83 by 34.11 metres outside, with a square interior of 17.95 by 17.85 metres. A dome on a central plan rises above the space, supported inside by columned pillars, and a women's gallery surrounds the interior. The four facades carry elements of Italian Gothic, while the dome's ornament follows the style of the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts.

The building was constructed in 1898 by architect Lipót Baumhorn as a synagogue for the Jewish community. It was later converted into an art museum during the 20th century, where it continues to serve today.

The building's religious symbols were removed during later alterations: the Star of David on the dome, the Torah tablets above the entrance, the hand-washing basin in the vestibule, the collection box, inscription plaques, the Torah ark and its decorated grille, and the candelabra. A permanent exhibition presents the history of Szolnok's Jewish community, and the gallery regularly organises joint programmes with the Szolnok Jewish Community.

The gallery stands at Templom út 2, not on Mátyás Király Street. It occupies the former synagogue, whose ornate fence, winter hall and offices adjoin the main building. Guided building walks are held each year during the Days of Cultural Heritage, and the Damjanich János Museum runs the site as a temporary exhibition venue.

The dome's interior is supported by columned pillars and ringed by a women's gallery, while a cast-iron fence once separated the eastern wall's raised platform and the decorated Torah ark from the rest of the hall. The building measures 19.83 by 34.11 metres outside, with a square interior of 17.95 by 17.85 metres.
