What travelers are saying
- Marion FNew York City, NY234 contributionslocated in buda castles, the gallery is only one of the things you can do there.
the location is really a day-two days of exploring.
you can walk the grounds, visit the citadel 10 mins away, go to the national museum or even the bazaar located a few minutes away.
the gallery itself was quite impressive the collection of painting and sculptures were well organized and the temporary exhibit on Vasary on display when i was there was very interested.
take note-they start closing areas at 5:30 and there is a medieval reliquary section past the gift shop, that is also included in the ticketWritten February 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Not expensive
Great for kids, especially adult men lol

- Magonyi MKecskemet, Hungary31 contributionsI visited the temporary exhibition in Secessionist design with a friend. The atmosphere is breathtaking. The music also helped us to return to this era. I was especially fascinated by the interior design, the furniture. I could approach the exhibits, there were no ropes around them. We just loved the dresses, fans and hats put on display together, the jewellry. The staff was very kind and helpful.Written August 7, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Niklas RStockholm, Sweden111 contributionsI stumbled on this place after wading through the plethora of tourist trap stores in the area and I was so happy I did! They have lots of quite original little Hungarian made things that are super cute and nice! I bought a beautiful plush toy for my friends child and some ceramic flowers and other cute things for my friends. Will definitely return and have recommended to other friends who will be traveling to Budapest!Written July 28, 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kay MAugusta, GA1,680 contributionsThis is an upscale take or a twist on Hungarian dishes. There are many seafood choices, especially smoked, that you don't see many places. We only tried the traditional Hungarian goulash soup and the sour cherry and apple strudel because we were on a tour, and that is what they served us. We looked at the other dishes that were being served to the other diners, and they all looked yummy, and they were cleverly plated. The soup was fabulous; the simplest ingredients done just right. It was served with sliced baguette on the side. We were also brought a large portion of strudel. Some was apple, some was sour cherry. We didn't eat much of it because we had already sampled food in the covered food market nearby. I highly recommend this place. There were lots of locals here, the service was good, and there is a full bar. It's clean and shiny new looking.Written May 4, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- tcgiiiHobart, Australia10 contributionsThis is a wonderful collection of mostly modern and contemporary Hungarian art work. Beautifully displayed, and in a gallery which invites the public to come in and view, whether they are looking to buy or just looking to gain an appreciation of art and artists of Hungary. Do yourself a favour and spend some time just enjoying this ever changing and beautiful display of Hungarian art.Written August 7, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stinkwinkSydney, Australia7,389 contributionsNo one can be a prophet in his own country. This very talented and enthusiastic community tries the impossible. Led by a documentary film director and writer, Edit Kőszegi, who practically gave away his privet life providing home to his home to the Kugler Art Gallery and this apartment also has long hosted various theater performances. When I ad hoc decided to visit this collection of art, accidentally I got in the middle of a theatrical rehearsal. Edit Kőszegi was very kind and let me see this abundance of artwork, and explained how she got acquainted with these gypsy artists and how she decided to create an opportunity to exhibit their work in her own home. The majority of the paintings were created by gypsy women, but there are some paintings from famous twentieth-century Hungarian painters, and also the contemporary non-gypsy artists as well.
It's a fantastic experience to walk in this unusual gallery where you do not actually know that this is a kitchen or a bedroom or just an art collection presented in a novel way of thinking?
I pondered on how much somebody has to love the art, to be capable of such sacrifices? The other question what would happen to these talented Gipsy artists, if they wouldn’t meet this facilitator? Would they achieve the same fame and appreciation, or would they just sink into the darkness of the not understanding?
Edit Kőszegi, a respectable artist herself, took their case and offered them an opportunity to show themselves to the world. In March of this year, for example, an exhibition was opened in New York at the United Nations General Assembly Building. The title of it Painted Dreams by Hungarian Roma Women Artists.
The Kugler Gallery is in an apartment building 2 Sütő Street on the first floor, opposite the elevator. Isn't easy to find, but worth for the effort.Written December 5, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
