    (Translated by Google) Pleasant is good, the layout is also great. Everything "in place" could not have been better solved. A real, well-tailored exhibition. It is approx. 5 minutes set. It's worth leaving. Opening hours: Tuesday - Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm. (Original) Tetszetos jol kovetheto, az elrendezes is remek. Minden a " helyen van " jobban nem is lehetett volna megoldani.

    Wonderful museum in Óbuda. Imre Varga created many of Budapest’s most familiar and thoughtful statues and you can see designs and models for them here. There are also some hidden gems you might not have seen before. Friendly, knowledgeable staff enhance the experience.

    It's a quick sight of the restless intellect and broad vision of Imre Varga. The ticket is cheap and the Museum is nice. Try to combine the visit with Aquincum and the Vasarely Gallery in the same zone.

    Imre Varga's impressive sculptures are attractively displayed in the house and garden. Well worth visiting and good value. Some of his sculptures can be seen around Budapest.

He boasted several Merits and Honors. (Kossuth Prize-winning sculptor.) Pàtzay Pál and Mikus Sàndor were "under his hands." His first solo exhibition was in 1967 in Budapest.

    We went to the museum last spring and when we get back to Budapest, we will definitely go again. Amazing work. We had the most lovely gentleman give us a personal tour and we're so grateful for his efforts to explain the works. We were so engrossed in it, I didn't remember to post a review. So here it is now.

    Ein kleines, schönes Museum mit sehr beeindruckenden Skulpturen eines ungarischen Künstlers (1923-2019)! Ebenso der freundliche Empfang und Begleitung durch die Räume und den Garten. 😄 Sprache: ungarisch Beschriftung: englisch

    Very good sculptor museum. My recommendation for those who likes this kind of art

  • 5/5 Jamop M. 1 year ago on Google
    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 guests 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.

    A nice little museum with an interior and exterior exhibition dedicated to one of Hungary's greatest sculptors. Interesting for older children as well. Admission cheap. Only one complaint - the descriptions in English are incomplete.

  • 5/5 Runa H. 7 years ago on Google
    Museum dedicated to one of Hungary's most famous modern sculptors. A little gem hidden in the remnants of the old town of Obuda, virtually unknown by most tourists.

  • 5/5 Ye In O. 5 years ago on Google
    Amazing, compact collection of Imre Varga’s sculptures, tucked away in a corner of Obuda!

  • 3/5 Intrepid O. 5 years ago on Google
    Interesting sculptures by a famous Hungarian artist. I was accompanied wherever I went by an employee who said it's their policy, which was a bit strange. Would have stayed longer otherwise.

  • 5/5 Giselle H. 6 years ago on Google
    A National Treasure, Virtually Unknown by Most Tourists A lot of visitors are moved by Imre Varga's work at the Holocaust Museum, the Tree of Remembrance but are completely unaware of his museum that features over a hundred of his works. Unfortunately the city does not promote it.It is easy to get there once you know of its existence. The metro stops right around the corner. The museum has some full size statues, many models of large, public statues, some of his paintings, and medals he was commissioned to design. The place is a treasure trove that no art lover should miss!

  • 5/5 Jason M. 4 years ago on Google
    Masterful sculptures that are only available at this museum; they don't travel. The museum is not in the mainstream of Budapest art venues it seems - only a few people were there at mid-day in August - but it is a must-see for lovers of art. So many of the works tell an important story and inspire reflection.
