Home to a Hungarian silversmith and his family for 120 years, Buda has permanent displays of the family’s extensive art and craft collections, furnishings and personal belongings. There’s an interesting mix of architectural styles: the original Indian-villa influence, and later Edwardian-style extensions dating from 1861.
