Bori Kisjankó Memorial House

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:14:05

From Hősök tere, a short distance southwest of Szent László tér, enter any of the small streets running southward to find the Hadas district, a completely different world of thatched and whitewashed cottages. Interesting lanes to stroll along are Patkó köz, Kökény köz and Mogyoró köz, but the centre of activity is Kis Jankó Bori utca, named after Hungary's own 'Grandma Moses', who lived and stitched her famous '100 roses' patterns here for almost 80 years. Her 200-year-old cottage is now the Bóri Kis Jankó Memorial House, filled with needlework and brightly painted furniture.
