Schöffer Collection
An exhibition of the futuristic work of the Paris-based artist Nicholas Schöffer, who was born in Kalocsa in 1912, can be seen at the Schöffer Collection. The collection would be more impressive if it was cleaned now and then, but you can see some of his work near the bus station; his kinematic light tower Chronos 8 (1982) is a Meccano-set creation of steel beams and spinning reflecting mirrors that two decades ago was supposed to portend the art of the new century. Guess not.

Cathedral Treasury
The Cathedral Treasury, just east of the cathedral across Kossuth Lajos utca, is a trove of gold and bejewelled objects and vestments. In case you were wondering, the large bust of St Stephen was cast for the Millenary Exhibition in 1896 and contains 48kg of silver and 2kg of gold. Among the other valuable objects is a 16th-century reliquary of St Anne and a gold and crystal baroque monstrance.

Aunt Judy's Csárda
Another place to see examples of wall and furniture painting is Aunt Judy's Csárda, a touristy restaurant near the Danube ferry crossing 6km southwest of Kalocsa. Some people find today's flower and paprika motifs twee and even garish; compare the new work with that in the museums and see what you think.
