North of Szilágyi Erzsébet fasor, this house (1924) is where the great composer resided
from 1932 until 1940, when he emigrated to the US. The visit is by guided tour and includes
seeing the old Edison recorder (complete with wax cylinders) that Bartók used to record
Hungarian folk music in Transylvania, as well as his beloved hand-carved dining-room fur-
niture and even half a cigarette he smoked! Chamber-music concerts take place here
throughout the year; see the website for details.
