History
The merit of the establishment goes to Ferenc Király, the sculptor, a long-time director and the winner of the Munkácsy Award in 2005. At first the Lendava-Lendva Gallery and Museum was part of the Cultural Community Lendava and in 1979 it came under the Institute for Culture Lendava. As an independent public institution it has been active since 1996.
Exhibitions
Museum
The Oloris exhibition occupies the first floor of Lendava Castle and presents the Bronze Age settlement of Oloris near Dolnji Lakoš. It is divided into two main sections: the first section introduces the visitor to the discovery of the settlement and how it was researched, and presents the results of the research. The second section displays material from the interiors of the Oloris dwellings, from the courtyard and fringes of the settlement. The exhibition is further enhanced by a reconstructed Oloris house with a hearth and loom, and a courtyard with oven, well, fence and fields, including stone farming tools.
The historical exhibition The Castle Lies in Wait [Grad na preži] was prepared in cooperation with the Institute and Museum of Military History, Budapest. It informs us about the Turks’ invasions to the territory, about a union of castles which formed so called Military Region. Part of the Region was the Lendava Castle, which Turks never manage to conquer. The exhibition presents the replicas of weapons, equipments of soldiers, the flags and the images of the Lendava, Beltinci, Kaniža, Novi Zrin and Beograd castle at that time.
The numismatic exhibition A Thousand Years of Forging Money in Hungary, donated by the National Museum, Budapest, presents the development of Hungarian currency.
The museum has a rich ethnological collection, of which only a part is exhibited in the left wing on the upper floor of the castle. It presents dwellings, as well as spiritual and aesthetic world of the ancestors of Prekmurje, i.e. painted chests (tulipánoslada), blacksmith bellows, decorative towels, pottery, and religious statues.
The György Zala Memorial Room is dedicated to György Zala (1858–1937), one of Hungary's most eminent neo-Baroque sculptors of the 19th century, who was born in Lendava. György was an excellent portraitist and the author of the monumental sculptures of kings and emperors at Hósök tere (Heroes' Square) in Budapest.
The Štefan Galič Memorial Room is dedicated to Štefan Galič (1944–1997), the academic painter and graphic artist, born in Lendava. Galič was one of the few, who used the woodcutting techniques. The artists’ collection of butterflies is also on display.
The museum manages the dislocated unit in Lendava town, where the exhibition Middle Class, Printing and Umbrella Making in Lendava is on display. The middle class life is illustrated with a work room and a saloon of lawyer family and with pharmacy equipment of the late 19th century. In the next room the development of Lendava printing is presented, from the beginnings in 1573, when the first book was printed in Slovenian territory in Lendava, to the golden age of printing related to Gábor Kardos and Ernő Balkány at the turn from the 19th to the 20th century. The third room presents the umbrella factory Hungária Hazai Ernyőgyár Rt., the first at the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which developed in 1904 from the Béla Wortman dressmaking factory.
Gallery
The collection of the Lendava-Lendva International Artists Colony presents the works by local and European artists who have participated in the colonies since 1972 with the emphasis on the works made in the museum's own bronze casting foundry which has been operating since 2005.
The gallery hosts many temporary exhibitions and regularly presents the new artworks made at the Lendava-Lendva International Artists Colony and the LindArt International Young Artists’ Fine Arts Colony. György Ezüst, the head of a similar colony in Budapest, and Imre Makovecz (1935), the architect of the Lendava Culture House, both exhibited here in 2009. On the other hand the gallery presents also more ambitious international exhibitions such as the works by Alfons Mucha from the Zdeněk Třímal's collection (2010) or the Shunga – Erotic in Japanese Art, prepared by András Morgós, researcher, restorer and professor at the Fine Art University in Tokyo (2011).
