Borsos Miklós Emléklakás

Sculpted in time, the Borsos Miklós Emléklakás whispers stories of a life dedicated to art. Here in the heart of Buda, at Úri utca 6, the spirit of Miklós Borsos lingers. He spent his final years within these walls, shaping not just sculptures, but a life rich in creativity. Borsos Miklós Emléklakás isn’t just a museum. It’s a time capsule. It’s a portal to the past, preserving the intimate world of a remarkable artist. The apartment itself is a work of art. Borsos lived here from 1978 until his passing in 1990. His wife, Kéry Ilona, continued to reside in this space, ensuring its preservation, until her death in 2001. Borsos Miklós Emléklakás opened its doors to the public in December 2022, thanks to the Budavári Önkormányzat. Within these rooms, everyday objects transform into relics. His Renaissance chairs from Florence, a well-worn travel chest from Transylvania, and an intricately knotted Persian rug all speak volumes. They tell tales of his travels, his passions, and his discerning eye. The collection here at Borsos Miklós Emléklakás extends beyond the everyday. His art, including ink drawings, prints, the white plaster sculpture “Primavera,” and small sculptures, fill the rooms. They invite you into Borsos’s creative process, revealing his unique vision. Borsos Miklós, born in Nagyszeben, Transylvania in 1906, was more than a sculptor. He was also a medalist and graphic artist, whose work echoes the spirit of ancient Pannonia. He saw the world through an artist’s lens, transforming natural forms into timeless works. He infused his sculptures with mythology and history, blending them seamlessly with simplified natural shapes. Borsos Miklós Emléklakás is a testament to his legacy. It offers a glimpse into the mind and heart of an artist who found solace and inspiration in the world around him. His Tihany home, a sanctuary he shared with his wife, became a hub for fellow artists, writers, and poets. Here at Úri utca 6, that same spirit of connection and creativity endures.
