During our trip to Hungary, we spent a couple of days in Eger. We visited the small town of Mezőkövesd (15 km from Eger), which is famous for Matyó embroidery. The town has a handicraft quarter called Hadas district, which has handicraft workshops and small house museums. There is also a Matyó museum in Mezőkövesd. The museum has a good collection of Matyó-embroided clothes and painted furniture, as well as pictures of Matyó people.
