Targu Mures: Palace of Culture Exterior

This is the exterior of the Palace of Culture, also designed by Komor and Jakab (1910-1911). It includes a theater, museums, conference hall---bringing together all the cultural activities of the city. It's an example of Gesamtkuswerk (a total, synthesizing work of art). The exterior facade is decorated with mosaics that illustrate Szekler legends. They were made by Sandor Nagy and Miksa Roth (we saw Roth's mosaic on the Turkish Bank our last visit to Hungary).

All of this (and more) building was because of a very active major, Gyorgy Bernady.

  1. Nowadays is very important to know about different culture specially because many people travel from differents country. When we have some knowledge about the cultures we can understand better the people and we can understand ourselve in a simple way, and is easy to forget any taboo that impide the enjoyment of our life.
