Regardless of the lack of worshipping pictures, statues and relics, even the poorest Calvinist denomination made the place of their worship by an uplifted spirit. As a result of this the small white Calvinist churches many times were decorated by a beautifully painted enteriour and the treasures of the Hungarian embroydery and goldsmith items.

Our exhibition provides a selection of the coloured-flowered pieces of furniture, pulpits, ceilings and coffins made by the rural woodworker and cartwright workers.

Debrecen used to be the centre of the Hungarian goldsmith art. The craftsmen formed a specific style for their silver cans and cups. Besides the works of the goldsmiths of Debrecen and Augsburg, the exhibition provides a rich scale of textiles of the 17-18th centuries. We can trace back how the mixture of the renaissance and the Turkish influence made up a specificly Hungarian style.
