It's worth the trip to District IX to see Odön Lechner's 1896 Museum of Applied Arts. A fusion of Art Nouveau and Hungarian folk elements, its colourful Zsolnay roof is justly famous. Hungarian porcelain and French furniture feature inside.
The pieces that make up Budapest's Museum of Applied Arts were purchased at the Vienna World Exhibition. The museum now boasts a good collection of ceramics and glassware, furniture, fine metalwork and textiles.
