Menny.:db

A book on the founder of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts was published in 2008 under the mysterious title “The man of Buitenzorg villa”. In 1919, Ferenc Hopp in his last will bequeathed his home – the Buitenzorg villa on Andrássy street – and his Oriental collection of approximately 4,000 items to the Hungarian state under the condition that the villa would house a museum of Eastern Asiatic arts. Hopp was an art collector, traveller and sponsor. His collection – the first European collection of Far Eastern artefacts – evolved from his Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Southeast Asian items. The Hopp Museum, named after him, was opened in 1923 in Budapest.

This volume is a homage to the founder, Ferenc Hopp. It discusses his life, the period he lived in and his activity, and summarises the history and composition of the Museum. The book has two parts and an Appendix.

Part 1 deals with Ferenc Hopp and the period he lived in; Part 2 describes his Asian collections, paying attention to the characteristics of art trade and the collection of European artefacts. The Appendix consists of Hopp Ferenc’s last will and a map of his travels. The DVD contains all his letters and The collection of studies consists of two parts and an Appendix.
