“I loved the tapestries”
Jun 2020
This small little museum contains a sampling of works from the various periods of Vasarely’s artistic career and a room in which you can watch a documentary. The rooms are filled with Vasarely’s paintings, drawing, large tapestries, and 3D pieces such as the famous his chess set. You will be amazed by his zebra and chess-related artworks. I really liked Claire Vasarely’s bucolic, fancy tapestries. Were they handwoven in the Atelier Tabard Freres in Aubusson France? I really loved the tapestries I saw but expected more information on how they both ventured onto this interesting medium. In addition to the museum I recommend visiting Vasarely’s Sign Sculpture made of porcelain tile outside Pauline Church in Pécs.
“Something different”

For the connoisseur
Nov 2019
If you are not a graphic designer interested in poster history, the place is kind of boring, especially for kids. You just walk around looking at art pieces hanging on the wall thinking to yourself "I could do that". I repeat, interesting only for adults interested in art history!

Lovely, mind-bending museum
Nov 2019
It's a small museum mostly featuring work by Victor Vasarely (obviously), though there are some other works, too.
I love that it's small - this way you can leisurely look at everything without being overwhelmed. I found the art displayed here mind-bending and mind-blowing, I could look at some pictures for ages, mesmerized, but I think looking at such art in bigger quantities could be a bit too much.
This way, it's perfect.

Great display
Jun 2018 • Friends
Victor Vasarely Museum features works by the namesake Pécs native along with a few pieces by his contemporaries. While lot of the graphics might not be that impressive for today’s standards with the availability of graphic design programs, it is impressive that Vasarely produced the bulk of his work in the late 1960’s to early 1970’s when computers took up an entire room of space.

OP Art Heaven
May 2018 • Solo
I loved this museum, full of incredibly simple yet visually stunning works by an artist known for his op-art style. The woven tapestries were also a delightful surprise, as is the small amount of work created by his wife.

It's a gem for those interested in visual effect arts.
Lots of illusion optics, captivating by its ingenuity.

A must if you like colourful patterns
Feb 2018 • Friends
I did not know about the artist but I joined a friend who went there. I especially liked the very colourful pieces and the tapestries. Amazing how some pieces jump at you in a 3d kind of fashion. The staff is young and very helpful and open for a chat on the displayed art. Also has some nice items in its small shop.

Don't miss it
Dec 2017 • Friends
Very impressive and interesting collection of Victor Vasarely works. Entrance fee for an adult is 1500 HUF (bit less than 5€). If you want to take photos inside the museum, the cost is 300 HUF (1€) more. Do visit, especially if you like op art. You will not be disappointed.
