Brick Collection

The permanent exhibition of the history of brick in Veszprém offers a closer look at the impact of one of our most basic building materials in the history of industry, art and civilisation.

In January 2023, the Tegularium / Brick Collection reopened in the Dubniczay Palace with a varied concept and a new exhibition of new pieces. In 2006, the Tegularium, the brick collection of Veszprém, was given a new home and a unique location in the basement of the palace and in the 16th century canon bastion. The special exhibition presents old tools and images used in brick and tile making, glazed and sealed building materials and roof tiles from Roman times to the last quarter of the 20th century. The 1,200 stencilled, scratched, handwritten, sealed and stamped bricks made in templates are on display in the exhibition space as industrial, contemporary, cultural and artistic relics of more than 400 years of Hungary.

The material of the thematic exhibition can be viewed here with Hungarian subtitles.

Thanks to the National Cultural Fund, the initial collection of the Tegularium is now available in digital form.

In the Tegularium (brick collection) of the House of Arts in Veszprém you can wander among old and new bricks and go back in time nearly 12000 years. Let's visit the exhibition, learn about the art of brick-making and make our own stamped bricks or clay sculptures that are born there and then.Venue:
