Róth Museum, Art and house museum in Erzsébetváros district, Budapest, Hungary
The Róth Museum occupies a former furniture factory building and displays an extensive collection of stained glass works and mosaics across multiple exhibition spaces. The rooms present pieces of various styles and sizes distributed throughout several floors.
Artist Miksa Róth acquired the building in 1911 and used it as his studio and residence. The house was converted into a museum in 1999 and opened to the public following his legacy.
The museum shows how craftspeople created glass and mosaic art in the early 20th century. Visitors see workshops, traditional tools, and finished pieces that reveal the making process behind this handwork.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 19:00. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes since there are multiple stairs between the exhibition areas.
The upstairs gallery contains award-winning Tiffany glass mosaics that earned silver medals at international exhibitions in the early 1900s. These works rank among the most valued pieces in the collection and demonstrate the artist's international recognition.

Art Nouveau emerged between 1890 and 1910 as one of Europe's most influential architectural and decorative movements. Architects of this period broke from historical precedents to develop a new visual language characterized by curved lines, plant motifs and richly ornamented facades. The movement took different names across countries: Modernisme in Catalonia, Jugendstil in German-speaking regions, Secession in Austria and Liberty in Italy. This diversity led to regional interpretations that incorporated local craft traditions and cultural characteristics. This collection includes buildings across Barcelona, Paris, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Brussels and other European cities. In Barcelona, works by Antoni Gaudí and his contemporaries shape entire streetscapes, including Casa Batlló with its undulating facade and the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista. Paris preserves the celebrated metro stations by Hector Guimard, while Budapest features the Gresham Palace, Museum of Applied Arts and Gellért Baths. Vienna presents characteristic examples of the Austrian variant with the Secession Building and Majolica House. The collection also includes less visited sites such as the Kőrössy Villa in Kecskemét, Horta Museum in Brussels and the railway station in Helsingør, Denmark.
