Vasarely Museum
This museum is named after one of Hungary’s most famous contemporary artists. His works are more well known than his name, and chances are you have seen reproductions of them somewhere. Vasarely has become a very influential painter, and reflections of his style can be seen in a variety of works from other 20th century artists. His canvasses feature wild geometric patterns and lines, often creating a trompe d’œil effect. Some of the objects appear to bubble and swell, while in other paintings, you will notice hidden objects or animals.
Opening times: Tues - Sun 10 am - 5 pm

Museum of Fine Arts
This museum is located in a dramatic and recently renovated building. The sheer size of the structure makes it rather intimidating, and there is room for a wide range of exhibits. The Spanish collection is one of the main features, with works by El Greco, Goya and more. Most of these pieces were obtained by Count Esterhazy, the famous patron of the arts, who collected many of the paintings for bargain prices. Another exhibit of note is the display of Roman vases and other artifacts that reflect what life was like in ancient times.
