Leskowsky Instrument Collection Foundation
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street in Kecskemét, the Leskowsky Collection feels less like a formal museum and more like stepping into a master luthier's private sanctuary. The air is faintly scented with aged wood and varnish, a quiet hum of reverence filling the rooms. You don't just see these instruments; you feel their history, imagining the hands that once played them. It’s an intimate and surprisingly personal encounter with musical artistry.
Collection Highlights
The true stars are the beautiful Hungarian zithers and haunting tárogatós, but you'll also find a stunning, intricately inlaid harpsichord. Don't miss the collection of delicate folk violins, each with its own unique character and story etched into the wood.
Visitor Information
It's located at Rákóczi út 15, easy to find but with an unassuming entrance—keep an eye out! The passion of the staff is infectious; they often share fascinating stories behind specific pieces if you show interest.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a classic, pale yellow Hungarian townhouse that feels perfectly at home on its historic street, with high ceilings and creaky wooden floors that add to the charm.
