The Virág Judit Gallery and Auction House is primarily specialised in presenting and selling high quality Hungarian paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries as well as Zsolnay ceramics. The Gallery organises three auctions yearly, where the careful selection and the limited number of items assure the excellent quality. Our Gallery possesses a number of high-level exhibition rooms too, where guests and collectors can visit exclusive, thematic exhibitions for free.
