Room 2
In many rooms on the second floor there are different elements of the collection in dialogue: art objects of various nature and origins, Arts & Crafts furniture, contemporary artworks and the new ceilings by David Tremlett.
George Edmund Street
In this room you can find a group of works by architect George Edmund Street. These describe the ark of his career, starting with a drawing for a church , an auditor’s chair (1870) and a cast iron coat-stand designed for the Royal Courts of Justice in London.
On the next wall, G.E. Street reveals his interest in Venetian Gothic architecture in 1868.
Zsolnay
The vase with the lizards was made at the Zsolnay factory in Budapest during its most experimental phase at beginning of the 20th century.
Edward Burne-Jones
Edward Burne-Jones draws Philomela between 1863–1864, a heroine from Geoffrey Chaucer’s poem The Legend of Good Women.
