Self-guided Sightseeing Tour #1 in Pécs, Hungary

The Csontváry Museum serves to present the work of Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (1853-1919) in downtown Pécs, in the immediate vicinity of Pécs Cathedral and the early Christian burial chambers belonging to the World Heritage, at Janus Pannonius u. 11. The paintings miraculously escaped the end, as they were auctioned after the artist's death. It took the intervention of architect Gedeon Gerlóczy to make sure that the pictures could one day reach Pécs.
