Museum of Fine Arts

Hungary’s most prestigious collection of fine art, complementing the one at sister institution, the National Gallery, is housed in a stately landmark on Heroes’ Square. A huge overhaul completed in 2018 and collection exchange with the National Gallery have seen the museum acquire medieval Hungarian art alongside works by Titian, Velázquez and El Greco. The permanent collection also holds an impressive selection of artefacts from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.
