Mihály Babits'
birthplace, the Clement House - as the Szekszárd people call it - is built in
1780 in the style of the Copf, and is still in its original state. It was
purchased by the poet's grandfather, József Kelemen, when he settled in
Szekszárd in the 1850s. The ground floor exhibition reveals the venue and
characters of Mihály Babits' autobiographical novel Szekszárd, inspired by the
Deathly Hall. The first room belonged to her mother, Aurora Clement. The third
room was Mihály Babits' room when she returned home for vacations as a child,
and later when she visited her family as a famous poet. There is also a smaller
room connected to the study room. When Babits was in Szekszárd, the door was
always open between the two rooms. Upstairs, the poet's life can be traced
through documents, manuscripts, photographs. The last two rooms recall the
library of Michael Babits. In the bookcase we can see a selection of the
remaining volumes.
