Time Out says

The former studio of a photographer to the Habsburg court more than a century ago has been converted into one of Budapest's finest photo galleries. Much has happened in this building on theatre-lined Nagymező utca in between, most notably hosting the notorious Arizona cabaret of the immediate pre-war era, but its conversion in the late 1990s created a light-filled gallery space and exquisite terrace café. Temporary exhibitions are staged year-round, often two at a time, and invariably provided with English-language documentation.

5 out of 5 stars
125 years of Hungarian cinema is being celebrated at photo gallery, the Mai Manó House, some 400 photographs, video montages and bilingual documentation presenting the history of one of Europe’s earliest film cultures. Hungarian visitors will immediately recognise the stars and the revered features they appeared in, though will not have seen the backstage and previously hidden images from their film shoots. Displays on the upper floor are dedicated to the art of still and set photography, another field in which Hungary has excelled over the decades.
