Walked a long way to get to this museum. Woman on the cloakroom was very rude. She refused us entry because we didn’t want to take our coat off. It’s a very cold day - we aren’t use to this weather and we were freezing. We decided to leave and she said ‘bye bye’ in a very condescending way as if she got some enjoyment out of it. Very odd!

If you're a Liszt fan or even a musician of some type, you may enjoy this more than I did. It's a small museum of Liszt historical items. It is also where he lived at one time, so is historic. I'm not a Liszt fan, so found it not particularly interesting. Very small museum - I was pretty much done seeing everything of interest to me is about 15 min., but had to wait for the group. Might recommend it if someone had an interest, wouldn't go back myself.

The museum was built in honor of one of the great Hungarian composers and musicians, Franz Liszt (1811-1886) and
It opened in September 1986 in the building of the so-called “Alte Musikakademie” (1064 Budapest, Vörösmarty utca 35th).
The building itself was once his home, Liszt lived here between 1881 and 1886.
The main objects of the permanent exhibition are two Chickering and a Bösendorf grand piano, a composing table, a Mason & Hamlin concerto harmonium, an Érard Alexandre Pianino harmonium, a Bachmann glass piano (piano harmonica), as well as the master's book and sheet music collection, which are stamped with the Liszt estate, and finally some furniture, pictures, statues and utensils.
Admission costs 3000 HUF.
You will be given an information sheet in German. This explains the items in the three rooms. There is also a concert hall where regular concerts are held.
For the visit you should allow 30 to 40 minutes, card payment possible.

I grew up studying classical music and thoroughly enjoyed the museum. I purchased the audio guide which I found as a must do if you want to take in this museum to the fullest. I learned a lot more through the audio guide and it guided me in the right order through each room to each exihibit and area. I learned a lot and felt at awe over some of the pianos and other memorabilila I was able to see. It was, for me, an amazing experience! I think I stayed there for about 1.5-2 hours.
Having said that, if you don't really know Franz Liszt or much about classical music, I don't think this would be a good museum for you.

As a non-white person, I was stared at and followed around the museum the whole time by a sour-faced museum attendant. I was also made to put my (tiny) handbag into the cloakroom, even though the two white tourists who were there at the same time were allowed to keep theirs. The museum is also over-priced and extremely small. I would definitely not recommend this museum for people of colour.

To be honest I am disappointed: the ticket (2000 HUF) is overpriced for three(!) rooms with a few relics, some rude staff and not even some nice music in the background.
It literally takes 10 minutes to visit, but it's not worthy at all.

Free entry, I paid a small amount for an audio guide.
Waste of time - 3 rooms, dead boring, learned absolutely nothing, not one note of music played on the audio guide or in the 3 rooms.
Desperately needs PR intervention.
My advice ....do not go. Absolutely dead boring. . ..
Saw everything in less than 15 minutes, such a huge disappointment.

Whilst only consisting of three rooms, this is a special place for anyone with a passing interest in Liszt, his life and his music. The entrance fee is great value at only 600 Ft., probably the price of a beer on the Square named after the composer.
Be warned that you will be asked to wear funny little fabric slippers before entering the rooms, as unlike other museums that recreate the living space of a notable person then promptly ropes it off, here you are allowed to roam around over the old carpets and inspect the artefacts as closely as you want.
Almost all the exhibits are well labelled, but perhaps the most pleasing part of the experience is to stand in the room which would have housed the original study area for Liszt's students, and imagine you are about to receive your lesson from this monumental figure of musical history.

If you play the piano or are studying music, you’ll enjoy the visit. It’s only three rooms full of furniture, pianos, and belongings, but if you enjoy Liszt, this museum will feel very special to you.
It’s not that big of a deal, and it’s a bit overpriced, but it’s definitely a must if you listen to classical music.
My only complaint is about the staff. They haven’t been rude or unprofessional, but I’d like to remind them that smiling is free.

Worth visiting if, and only if, you are interested in Liszt and his music. Small but atmospheric place, just 3 rooms, packed with pianos, furniture and artefacts belonging to Liszt. One page info sheet gives you a good background but not much interpretation of his life and work (maybe you are meant to know this already). The staff did not seem very friendly or welcoming.

Ciao a tutti. Volevo sapere se all'interno del museo è presente uno shop per acquistare dei souvenir. In particolare mi interessa sapere se vendono gli spartiti musicali di Liszt. In caso di risposta negativa, sapete dove poter acquistare un suo spartito a Budapest? Grazie mille
