The Székely Bertalan Műteremház Galéria is located in Székely-kert, a park near the town center. The park is also home to Székely Bertalan’s former holiday home and studio. The Műteremház is an exhibition venue for contemporary art, particularly works by visual artists from Szada and the surrounding area. Please arrange an appointment in advance to visit the gallery.

Different artistic connections come together in Szada: the place where the painter once had his holiday home and studio, and an exhibition venue for contemporary art from the surrounding area. If you choose a cultural focus for your trip, you can distinguish between these connections rather than grouping them under a single museum theme.

The painter Ádám-Székely Bertalan was buried at his own request in Szada’s old Reformed cemetery on August 23, 1910. His former student, the sculptor Jenő Bory, designed the tomb. Bertalan’s own choice of burial place and its design by a sculptor from his circle of students are brought together here.

The Rudnyánszky family’s chapel-crypt in the old Catholic cemetery tells a different story. It was built in 1888 to plans by József Kauser. Unlike the painter’s grave, the focus here is a family structure; its year of construction and architect provide a specific architectural connection. These two details offer different ways to explore Szada’s past: through a painter’s burial site and a family’s chapel-crypt.

At the Székely Bertalan Emlékünnepség, a wreath-laying at the grave is followed by the opening of exhibitions of Székely Bertalan’s works at the Műteremház, designed by Frigyes Schulek. The program moves from remembrance at the burial site to an art exhibition. This differs from the contemporary exhibition focus on works from Szada and the surrounding area. If you would like to travel specifically for this occasion, check the dates in the municipality’s current calendar.

The “Séta Szada központjában” route is easy to navigate in a wheelchair or with a stroller. This is a practical point of reference when choosing a local walk as part of your travel plans. The information applies to this route and can help you choose an activity that suits the needs of your travel group.

The springs of the Rákos-patak are another distinctive landscape feature: all five are located exclusively within the territory of Szada. For nature enthusiasts, they provide a precise point of interest alongside the town’s cultural attractions. Szada offers a range of experiences—from painting and architecture to a clearly located spring area and a route that is easy to navigate in a wheelchair or with a stroller.
