Museum of Fine Arts

I visited the exhibition on Friday and was truly impressed. The collection is very, very rich and beautifully presented, with great attention to detail and atmosphere. Every piece seems carefully chosen and displayed with real passion. The staff were all exceptionally kind and helpful, always ready to assist and answer questions. I would especially like to mention the lady who volunteers and hands out the audio guides — she was absolutely wonderful, very kind and welcoming, and made the experience even more pleasant. It’s just a pity that the section with 18th-century paintings wasn’t accessible due to renovation, but that’s understandable — and I’m sure that once it reopens, the whole exhibition will be even more complete. Overall, it was a delightful visit — warm, professional, and inspiring. A truly impressive and rich collection, highly recommended to all art lovers!

Overall, the museum is quite accessible for visitors with disabilities, although there are a few things to keep in mind. The main wheelchair access is not through the front door but via a small lift located on the right side of the building. The lift is a bit hidden, so you might need staff assistance to find it. It’s also quite small — it can only fit one wheelchair and one companion at a time. Once inside, accessibility becomes much easier, with spacious galleries and a larger internal lift connecting the floors. A great feature is that wheelchair users and their companions can enter for free by showing an official disability certificate or doctor’s note. The staff were very friendly and immediately guided us to the accessible entrance without any long wait. An accessible toilet is available near the main lobby, clean and easy to reach. ♿ Accessibility Checklist: ✅ Side entrance lift (small and slightly hidden) ✅ Large internal lift ✅ Accessible toilet ✅ Free entry for wheelchair user + companion ✅ Helpful and kind staff Highly recommended for visitors with disabilities who want to explore art in a calm and inclusive environment. #WheelchairAccessible #AccessibleBudapest #InclusiveTravel #AccessibleByWalkandSee

I’m not usually an art person, but I really enjoyed visiting this gallery. The collection focuses on works painted up to the 1800s, including a few paintings by El Greco and even a sculpture attributed to Da Vinci. The layout makes it easy to follow — paintings are grouped by century and style, which helps a lot if you’re not an art expert. On the basement there’s also an ancient history section with Egyptian artefacts, which was fascinating. We spent about half a day there and didn’t even get to the special exhibitions due to time. A very enjoyable visit overall!

This is one of the major museums with an impressive collection of paintings. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the architecture of the building, and of course the art. They also host weddings here, so don’t be surprised if you spot a bride and groom in some of the rooms. If you’re thinking of visiting, I’d say it’s definitely worth your time. Just a heads up, don’t carry your jacket around. You’ll need to either wear it or check it in at the entrance.

We visited exhibition of works by the mysterious Master MS. The exhibition was excellent - very professional. We also enjoyed permanent exhibitions. There are surprisingly many high-quality paintings. The musuem building is magnificient and well-kept. Entrance fees are reasonable. The museum staff is helpful and very polite.

I visited the Szépművészeti Múzeum while the Mesopotamia exhibition was on display, and it turned out to be a fascinating experience. The collection was well-curated, with detailed descriptions and an impressive range of artifacts that gave a real sense of the depth and complexity of that ancient civilization. The museum itself is stunning, both inside and out, with grand halls and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it easy to spend hours exploring. Even though I mainly came for the Mesopotamian exhibit, I ended up enjoying several other sections as well, especially the classical and Renaissance galleries. Overall, it was a memorable visit and definitely worth the time if you're in Budapest and have an interest in history and art.

Exquisite collections, both permanent and temporary, that portray major periods of European art and many of their most significant artists . The building is in itself reason enough to visit as you can see in the images. It is advisable to go early to have time to admire every detail in the museum.

A very large and beautiful museum with stunning architecture, well worth the money we paid. We really enjoyed it, and it takes about two to three hours to see the entire museum.
