Summer is on hold, in Holland, in Germany and even in Hungary. The weather has been particularly and unreasonably cold this week, just when we travelled to Hungary for our vacation. That's what I call wretched luck! Bath visits had to be cancelled and alternative plans had to be drawn up. So, that's how we happened to visit the Museum of Blue-Dyeing in my home town, Pápa. Although I am not the biggest fan of resist dyed indigo fabric textiles with flower patterns, the museum was a very interesting and enjoyable place to visit. Besides the original equipments and furnishings of the famous Kluge workshop, a permanent exhibition from the works of Irén Bódy can be seen in the building complex. The dyeing process was a closely held trade secret and the Kluges recorded their knowledge in secret writing, the original copy of this book is also on display.
