📖

Full description

The Mai Manó House was built in 1894 by the royal photographer and still hosts photography exhibitions in its original setting. Visitors describe an atmospheric building with art-nouveau decor, a wooden staircase, trompe-l'oeil murals and stained-glass windows.

The exhibition space is small, and reviewers disagree on value, with some finishing in around ten minutes while others enjoy the building as much as the shows, such as a Roger Ballen display. It is best for photography fans and architecture lovers who want a short, quiet stop in the city centre.

Reviews

Beautiful historic antique house with art-nouveau decor, wooden staircase, trompe-l’oeil murals and stained-glass windows. Hosts small photography exhibitions in an atmospheric environment. At time of visit, the featured artist was Hungarian-Parisian photographer Ergy Landau.
