Foundry Museum, Industrial museum in Víziváros district, Budapest, Hungary
The Foundry Museum occupies a brick building with serrated architecture, displaying original equipment from the Ganz factory including cupolas, casting pots, and metallurgical tools.
Abraham Ganz established this iron foundry in 1845, which operated continuously until 1964 when it transformed into Central Europe's first preserved industrial museum.
The museum exhibits the evolution of metallurgy in the Carpathian Basin through presentations of colored metals, iron, and steel manufacturing techniques.
The facility operates from April through October, Tuesday to Saturday between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with mandatory advance registration for group visits.
The museum features fifty decorative cast iron stoves, intricate sculptures, and a pantheon of busts celebrating Hungarian metallurgy pioneers in its outdoor exhibition space.
