"While the Körzôgyár may not be as elegant as the MUMOK, it certainly has a more interesting history. Its name means "Compass Factory," which indeed it was - a production center for drawing instruments, as a separate department of the Béla Szénásy Paper Department Store and Paper Goods Plant, established in 1903.
