Darvas-La Roche House
Casa Darvas-La Roche
The best-preserved private villa of the Art Nouveau movement, now the Art Nouveau Museum. Its stained-glass windows and interior decoration are exquisite.
The villa was designed in 1910–1912 by the architect brothers Iosif and Laszlo Vago. It is a leading example of combining Vienna Secession and Hungarian folk styles. After restoration, it opened as an Art Nouveau museum. It displays stained-glass windows, mosaics, original furniture, and scenes of everyday life of the time, and it often hosts temporary exhibitions and concerts. Tickets cost about 20 lei. It is on the north bank of the Crișul Repede River, near the State Theatre.
