Blue Dyeing Museum - Pápa
Address: 8500, Pápa Március 15. tér 12.
Phone number: (70) 663-3540
Opening hours: Tue-Sun 10-18
The Blue Dyeing Museum in Pápa is the only blue dyeing museum in Hungary, but it is also a unique industrial historical monument in Europe, which presents the entire work phase of blue dyeing. In the process, our visitors can learn the secrets of the complicated procedure and learn that it is not an extinct craft at all, but it is still a thriving craft today. continue
Permanent exhibitions
The task and purpose of the Blueprint Museum is to maintain the blueprinting craft and traditions, as well as to collect and exhibit its objective relics. That is why we visited the blueprint workshops still in function between 1984 and 1989. We arranged regular trade conferences and demonstrated these workshops to the visitors continue
A taste of the exhibition
The Kluge family realized the importance of mechanization in the textile industry. In the 1880s the family improved productivity of indigo printing by building a large workshop to accommodate all-season dyeing and drying of the cloth. Before that time, indigo printing was a seasonal industry because it was not possible to successfully dry the fabric in winter. continue
A taste of the exhibition
Irén Bódy graduated from the Collage majoring in textile pressing in 1952 before she began working as a designer for a factory where she spent ten years. continue
The printing room displays one of the most important aspects of blue dyeing, i.e. this is the very location where the master and his apprentices patterned the textiles for dyeing. The vivid patterns were applied to the white textile by means of a special resist paste called the ’pap’ and printing blocks. continue
