Bartok Memorial House, Budapest

A visit to the home of famous composer Bela Bartok (1881-1945) is a must for classical music fans. Amongst other things, it offers a glimpse into the composer's personal life. As well as his own belongings, there is also a collection of memorial items such as paintings and even stamps. Bartok, who spent a lot of time studying traditional folk music, did not live in a traditional house; instead it captures the look of the early twentieth century.
