Mai Manó's Gallery of the Emperor's and the King's court photographer at 20 Nagymező utca in Budapest

 

 

Designed by the architects, Nay and Strausz.  Implemented by József Hann.

The gallery was built in 1893-94. The neorenaissance facade is covered with green-yellow enameld Zsolnay-majolic. Above, there are two Zsolnay pyrogranite statues.The facade facing the terrace of the third floor is embellished by frescos painted on ceramic plates. (There are a palette, a camera, and a chemist's vial in the hands of the female figures, allegorically respresenting painting and photography. The hallway of the gallery is decorated with cement-plaster stuccos. The painting on the ceiling is by Albert Raudnitz, a Viennese paiter. The monogram of Mai Manó is engraved into the wrought iron  ornament of the half floor's handrails; one can spot the same monogram in the decorative spindles of the burnt glass windows. Those entering the staircase are greeted by the caption Salve hidden in the terazzo flooring. The late salon has four painted glass windows by Miksa Róth.

The Sunlight Studio's two sidewalls are decorated by painted backgrounds. The reconstruction of the building started in 1996; since then, the Hungarian House of Photography have been taking over the maintenance of more and more rooms and parts of the building which is welcoming visitors with exhibitions, professional photography programs, a special library, and a bookstore.
