Schools and museums of modern design in Transylvania around 1900

This volume focuses on a brief historical period: two decades within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy’s half-century of history. The artifacts carried out in Transylvania’s industrial vocational workshops bear witness both to the spread of modern technologies and educational methodology, as well as the permeable border between the fields of artisan and designer. Through analysis of artifacts, archival documents and photographs previously unpublished in international humanities research, this publication reveals Hungarian political, economic and cultural ideas concerning Transylvania in the decades surrounding 1900.
