Bimbó utca 11 : A Beautiful Artwork Hidden in a Modernist House in Budapest’s 2nd District

Bimbó út 11 is an apartment house located in Budapest’s 2nd district, constructed in the early 1940s. It features a captivating lobby, which, in my opinion, stands out as one of the city’s most attractive. The central highlight of the lobby is a bas-relief created in 1942 by Margit Kovács, a renowned Hungarian ceramic artist and sculptor.

Margit Kovács is recognized as one of Hungary’s principal ceramic artists of the 20th century, with her style influenced by folk art and traditional Hungarian pottery. Other buildings also showcase Margit Kovács’ artworks, such as Vármegye utca 15 and Kosciuszkó Tádé utca 14

I have launched Buildings Tell Tales in 2019, and since then visited and photographed over 1000 old buildings in Budapest. My goal is not only to take photos but to uncover the interesting stories hidden behind the old walls. By linking the stories of ordinary people such as workers, students, merchants, and domestic workers to specific places, I want to make the past tangible. Old buildings should be preserved not only for their aesthetic value but also for the memories they hold and the stories they tell.
