    This museum presents a variety of Hungarian art. It’s interesting to read about how Hungarian art has differed from that of neighboring countries throughout history. There are some beautiful pieces here. However, if you’re in a rush or just not that into art, it’s not a must-see

    Unfortunately closed when we were there but we could enjoy a very nice overview exhibition from a lot of paintings from Renoir which we enjoyed very much. I guess the museum is, from the glimpses we had, very interesting

    Was a funky museum! A nice place to see some different art. Some of the pieces are like optical illusions. We spend 40-60 minutes there and had a nice time!

    I love all art but especially painting and I saw a number of pieces by well known artists I had never seen before in any books. It was a joy to find them and made my heart beat harder. I would love to return but it's a long way from California.

    The experience was very cool, there are quite a few different rooms and areas. It can quickly all be looked at though if there’s a small number of people in your group. Would definitely recommend though for something different to do

    This ist a nice place to make several photos with ten unusual sceneries. The ball room was quite fun, even as a grown adult.

    Fantastic little museum, not known to the masses.
    I had seen some of Imre Varga's work before and loved it eg. The Tree of life at the Synagoge.

    I arrived 1½ hour before closing time, and there where no other guest than me.
    One of the custodians guided me around for all of the 1½ hour, with explainations of each sculpture with no extra cost. He was really dedicated to his work!

    Take the time to visit this little museum with some interesting works of Imre Varga.

    The Mucsarnok is a beautiful art museum on the Hero's Square. It is a neo-classical building inside and out. My absolute favorite part was the "Garden of Philosophy" exhibit. It is an eight-figure sculpture placed at the focus of the exhibition. The sculptures were 3-D printed!

    If you are interested in Art Nouveau or the arts and crafts movements across Europe in the 1920`s and 30`s, this museum in a suburban street is very worth a visit. It contains gorgeous items from a personal collection and spread over three floors, it presents these objects in individual rooms. The information provided to explain the items is well done and the history of how it has come to be is also interesting. If you are after a quiet and relatively short walk from the Museum Of Ethnology with its must-see roof garden, this lovely little museum is recommended.

    This museum's magnificent, sophisticated, yet meditative, sense of style, is extraordinary! Very special to experience. We saw temporary 'Divas & Icons' exhibit from London (misses a few divas to us!), didn't get to see another or a performance. Spent time marveling at this House of Music. And, enjoyed delicious lunch in the beautiful cafe. The surrounding setting, landscape, trees also wonderful.

    This museum is a must if you want to explore contemporary art from Eastern Europe. A very authentic and modern exhibition with many thought-provoking works. And it's free!

    The idea of the museum is very funny because keeps the secrecy of hidden bassement and is very interesting because shows the history of the city and the hotel’s past, and it has a good maintenance. Also I have to say that the receptionist girl was very polite and she treated us well!!!

    Unbelievably small pieces of art visible only through microscopes. It's hard to imagine how the artist was able to create these wonders.

    The whole museum smells like consumerism. It felt like the main focus wasn’t on light art itself, but the location and the hype. There were minimal international artists, it feels like most of the installation was created to fill the museum
