Ödön Lechner, the greatest master of the Hungarian art nouveau movement, was a creative genius. A large-scale exhibition on the 100th anniversary of the architect’s death presented his entire oeuvre in chronological order. The installation demonstrated the impact of his powerful architectural concept: the design of the exhibition, oriented around hexagonal platforms, as well as the motifs on the walls and the floor, all indirectly evoked the works of the master.
