The Kassák Museum belongs to the Petőfi Literary Museum and operates since 1976. The function of the museum is to preserve the material and intellectual legacy of Lajos Kassák (1887 – 1967, writer, editor, artist) to study it with scientific approach and to present it as a colorful experience to visitors. It aims to be an acknowledged location of Kassák researches carried out in the region and to become a factor in the international research of modernism. In its revamped overall concept, temporary exhibitions - opening a window on contemporary art as well - are meant to present avant-garde and modernism in their art history, cultural, and social contexts.
