Vasarely Museum, Budapest

Settled permanently in the fairy-tale Zichy palace, the exhibition is vast and carries some really landmark Vasarely works. The H5 train connection makes it super easy to visit, even for people that don’t know the Budapest transport system. Given the importance of the works here, the authorities could maybe create more of a ‘buzz’ about the place: visitors’s reception centre, enlarged shop, for instance. But well worth getting on that H5 to Szentlélek.

I have always loved the later works of Vasarely, and as a teacher of art history, I’ve always loved seeing my students decide they like abstract art after all once they have seen his works. It’s a wonder to them that he did these without the aid of computer software and that he’s messing with our perception. Coming to the museum was an awesome experience because it helps the visitor trace his development over his long and productive artistic career. The ground floor houses works from his earlier years, including his figurative works, as well as his early experimentation with shifting perspectives. The upper floor is filled with his wonderful Op Art works — large scale, glowing with bold colors, and seeing to expand off the canvas into our space. The wall text is extremely helpful, and museum as a whole is terrific.

Stunning place showing Vasarely’s master pieces. The exhibition is well structured and designed to give a global perception of the artist trajectory. It also hosts local artists exhibiting their work in several spaces adjacent to the main exhibition. Worth a visit in Obuda

Beautiful pictures!! In particular the colored paintings were absolutely impressive. It's a small museum, with few visitors. It feels very familiar. The museum's shop is really cool too. I bought a bag there. Definitely worth a visit!

This is a museum devoted to the work of Hungarian-French artist Victor Vasarely. It feels a little isolated and under appreciated but this museum is well worth a visit. You'll probably have the galleries to yourself and that's fine. More time and space to appreciate the work of this artist. Inside the museum compound is a garden that has a few chairs and a nice place to relax. The museum is easy to get to by public transport. We rode a bike there and caught a train back to central Budapest. The train stop, Szentlélek tér, is literally outside the museum.

Great artworks, interesting building. Also some newer, young artists can be seen in a parts of the exhibition. There is an art station for children to try it out, but we happily crafted our own too. Was very low density and nicely chilled building to escape the summer heat.

I really love this museum , was one of my bucket list places to visit and I do not have any regrets!!! What a great place, lots of his art work and biography also it was a pretty large museum, the only thing is a little out of the way , if you get the app of “Bolt” which is like Uber but faster you would get there in no time, the have buses and train but I did not want to deal with getting around and getting lost on a boat or train…

Located off the beaten path. Very nice exhibit space located in a house. The second floor is gorgeous. One can clearly see the evolution of Vasarely's art journey. The whole second floor has gorgeous pieces that tickles your brain. You have to enter the gift shop in order to get to the yard and towards the ticket counters. It is quiet and quite cool in the building. The yard is also enjoyable with shade. One of my favorite places in Budapest.
