In his will, Antal Fruhmann (1908–1987) left his house and workshop to the city's museum in his will. The stove ash museum created here is unique in the country. Recalling the memory of the now-disappeared Mágner, Dachauer, Magyary and Fruhmann workshops in Győr, which has a significant history of stove production, and the interior-furnished exhibition halls presenting the history of the Győr stove make the term "the warmth of home" directly relating to all ages.
The stove workshop, built at the beginning of the 20th century, is available to the visiting public in accordance with its original condition, while an exhibition showing the history of the stove craft in Győr can be viewed in the renovated residential building. The separate pavilion housed the museum's stove collection, collected by Antal Fruhmann, which has been continuously expanding ever since.
The museum complex, created from three interconnected exhibitions, is a collection of unique value for the once flourishing Hungarian stove art. In addition to all this, the Fruhmann family's legacy has survived such a quantity of tools, samples, catalogs, etc. that their importance justified the expansion of the original concept. Thus, in the previously unused attic of the workshop, we created a study warehouse and training space that is accessible and easy to use for researchers. The preserved and restored former heating equipment - as imprints of the art-historical stylistic periods of the past - prove the artistic sophistication of the craft of stove and pottery.
