The Goldberger
Budapest (H) > Dauerausstellung (ab Mai 2025)
The new permanent exhibition "Goldberger ..." demonstrates the plant that once began as manufactory with only a few people working there, which successive generations of the family constantly modernized and developed unti l products from the factory were world-renowned. Only the name was preserved the same after decades of nationalization and not the factory's former splendour. The exhibit offers numerous interactive elements for the visitors while visiting the factory. We hope to make textile printing technology and the development of the textile industry more understandable to them. The selection commemorates the Goldberger Company via documents, sample books, photos and paintings. The choice of topic was given: the first workshop owned by the family opened in the present museum building at the end of the 18th century. The exhibition presents the technical development of textile press from the guilds to nowadays. Textile pressing means the coloring and patterning of textile with tools. It all goes back to primitive traditions: primitives colored and ornamented their own bodies with tools made of pumpkins, wood etc.Pressed textile was already made in the antiquity in the East. They applied pigment grains mixed with glue on the textile. Nevertheless, textile pressing first appeared in 1702 in Europe.The first blue dyer workshop opened at the end of the 17th century in Hungary. By the 18-19th century, blue dyers were present in many towns of the country. They used press stilts: They put a kind of mash on the textile which was removed after the coloring dried. Thus, the pattern remained on the textile. The products of blue dyer workshops are still very popular nowadays. Howe, handiwork was taken over by the so-called perr¬otin machine. It moves the textile and the stilt in varied order. This type of machine is still in operation in a few of the workshops. Industrial textile was revolutionized by the invention of Thomas Bell, England, 1783. Textile production became unbroken. The cylinder press machines first came to Hungary in the end of the 19th century and were in operation until 1980's. A new invention concerning textile coloring came in the 20th century. The silk industry in Lyon applied a Japanese technology. It was realized in the 1930-40's. This technology dispersed around the 1960’s in Hungary. The demand, however, required new inventions. The rotation film press was invented around the 1950's. The technique that is applied nowadays dispersed in the 1960's in Hungary. The store of the Fibre Museum holds several large machines used in textile production. They will be shown in the exhibition ward to be reconstructed. In the meantime, scale models, original sewing machines and authentic copies will present techniques used in textile production continue
