THE COLLECTIONS

The Schola Graphidis Art Collection collects, conserves, studies and presents all the fine arts works, applied arts works,  and technical objects which can be connected to Hungary’s oldest state art education institution and their successors. The Schola Graphidis Budensis (Buda Drawing School) was founded on the basis of Maria Theresa’s educational decree, the Ratio Educationis (1777) in 1778 by the Buda Chancellery. The collection’s oldest artworks are from the second half of the 18th century, but its reference library specialised in the education of industrial arts (now part of the rare Book Collection) and its collection of plaster casts from the 19th century, as well as the groups of the hundred-year-old bookbinding tools and furniture making tools are also the unique parts of the whole collection. The collection conserves arworks and objects made between the second half of the 18th century and the 1960s.
The studying and cataloguing of the objects have multipurpose functions: on the one hand the object records will be available online for the public, on the other hand they will provide the basis for the scientific research as well.

The studying of the collection will provide new resources for the constructional practice, the crafts and applied arts practice in Hungary and in Central-Europe in the 18th–19th centuries.

The Schola Graphidis Art Collection consists of the following parts: Collection of Prints and Drawings, Collection of Plaster Casts and Sculptures, Photographic Collection and Mediatheque, Ceramics and Glass Collection, Collection of Metalworks, Textiles, Furnitures and Leather Objects, Collection of Technical Objects, Rare Book Collection, Archive.
