Goldberger Collection of Textile Industry
Housed in the former residence of the Goldberger family in Óbuda, the Goldberger Collection of Textile Industry Museum chronicles over two centuries of Hungarian textile innovation. Founded in 1785, the Goldberger factory rose to international prominence through its mastery of indigo blue-dyeing and later, multi-color roller printing. The museum’s interactive exhibits trace the evolution from artisanal techniques to industrial-scale production, showcasing tools, garments, pattern books, and printing blocks. Visitors can try on blue-dyed clothing, operate looms, and explore the impact of historical events—from the 1848 Revolution to WWII—on the factory’s fortunes. The museum also honors Leó Goldberger, a visionary industrialist and art patron whose life was tragically cut short in Mauthausen. Despite the factory’s closure in 1989, the museum preserves its legacy through engaging displays and educational programs. A hidden gem in Budapest’s cultural landscape, it offers a hands-on journey into the artistry, resilience, and social history of Hungary’s textile heritage.
Budapest HungaryThe Goldberger Collection of Textile Industry, also known as the Goldberger Textile Industry Collection, is located at 1036 Budapest, Lajos utca 136-138, in the Óbuda district. Housed in the historic former residence and factory of the Goldberger family, this museum offers a comprehensive look at Hungary’s textile and clothing industry and the entrepreneurial legacy of the Goldbergers, who operated one of Europe’s most renowned textile businesses from 1784 until the late 20th century. Interactive exhibits showcase the evolution of textile production, blue-dyeing and screen-printing, period machinery, and original fabric samples, making it engaging for visitors of all ages. Located in Óbuda, the museum is close to Fő tér (Óbuda Main Square), known for its historic charm, cafés, and cultural venues. The Vasarely Museum, with its impressive collection of op art, is nearby, as are the Aquincum ruins, a major Roman archaeological site. Within easy reach, you’ll also find the Danube riverfront, contemporary art spaces, and local restaurants, allowing visitors to enjoy both Budapest’s industrial history and the vibrant atmosphere of one of its oldest districts.
