Great place to see some of the best photographers work Robert Capa. From time to time temp.photo exhb.like hungarian press photo etc is on show as well.

Robert Capa (born Endre Ernő Friedmann;(1913 –1954) was a Hungarian–American war photographer and photojournalist. He is considered by some to be the greatest combat and adventure photographer in history. He subsequently covered five wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the First Indochina War, with his photos published in major magazines and newspapers. He was killed when he stepped on a landmine in Vietnam. The world's first permanent retrospective exhibition of Robert Capa's photography, entitled 'Robert Capa, the Correspondent' opened on 13 June in Budapest, in the new 500-square-metre exhibition space of the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Centre. The unique exhibition presents some 140 photographs from the series, including many of the iconic ones. It covers the most important stages of the photographer's life, and the photos are arranged according to the themes defined by his oeuvre.

There were three exhibitions when I was there. The Nicolas Muller exhibition was really interesting and I highly recommend it. The one about André Kertész was also interesting as it gives a glimpse on lesser known chapter of his work. The Magnum 75 is a disaster. What were they thinking replacing photos with QR codes? If I want to look at photos on my phone, I can do it from anywhere, I don't need to go to a museum. It's also ridiculous that a museum dedicated to photography forbids taking pictures inside, so here is photo of the entrance...

Friendly staff, interesting pictures, not my taste, but that's no reason for deducting stars! Why I deduct: its not easy to find the entrance, some renovation is going on outside, what's on display is again not easy to decipher? The Capa part is good, some Fotos are indeed strong I really liked the sofas to sit and let the images in the project room do its thing, unfortunately thay didn, t do much for me. Lastly, no context, or some points to relate we're badly missing for me. In my opinion Budapest has better places to spend ones time, still a valuable experience...

A must go gallery while you are Budapest. Also there's a little Capa cafe next door.

Why it took me so long to recognize the importance of Robert Capa's photography and to visit the exhibition center in Budapest is unfathomable to me. I love photography and consider it the top form of art as it connects one with the important moments in time. Robert Capa is that Guy! He, fortuitously was there, where everything significant was taking place during a tumultuous period in the 20th Century. From important political moments, to the devastation of conflict of war, to the iconic people he was in touch with and photographed. Without his work of photographs the world would be at a significant loss. And the beautiful, well delivered exhibition in the historic gallery off of Andrassy Street. The exhibit didn't just make my day and make my 28th visit to Budapest special, but it confirmed my own sense of wonder, how Hungary, with its challenging 20th Century history, continued to produce such remarkable characters?

This exhibition is not very big but it was very impressive. This was a great way to learn and observe more about the culture and current events in Hungary along side some stunning photography. I know the exhibition changes often but I imagine it’s always worth seeing.

Amazing exhibit! Highly worthwhile. Take your time! You get to travel through many important events of the mid-20th century alongside the life of the photographer Robert Capa.

I visited the Robert Capa exhibition. It's comprehensive and carefully arranged so it never becomes boring or overwhelming. The pictures which evoke strong emotions got huge spaces so you can deal with them one by one. The best thing is that you can watch the pictures up close l, everyone can find their own way to enjoy it.

Nice Building and some good exhibitions but I absolutely don't recommend going to the hunting exhibition of Zsigmond Szenchenyi as it just glorifies hunting (now endangered animals) without disclaimers or retrospective studies.

The temporary exhibition, Hans van der Meer photos from Budapest in the 80's were hilarious. I went to see the exhibition two times.

(Translated by Google) A museum where photographs of famous photographers are displayed. Other artists' works. The exterior looks like under construction. (Original) 유명한 사진작가의 사진이 전시된 박물관 다른 작가들 작품도 있음 외부가 공사중처럼 보이는데 안에는 또 멀쩡하게 운영되고 있어서 신기했음

Great little cafe. Crossiants and bagels are reallly tasty. Staff always nice.

Main entrance closed. Enter through cafe. Find one room with a few photos. No ticketing. One door leads to WC and other door closed! I leave. The End

I like the cafe here, the coffee and sandwiches are good. But the staff are so grumpy! One girl in particular looks like she’s ready to bite someone’s head off. I’ve come here many times now and never a ‘hello’ or ‘thank you’. Not even a smile. They don’t seem to enjoy their job.

Roberta Cappa exhibition is closed until October.

I went to the café which was very nice. Staff spoke English. The tickets for the Center are a little bit too pricey so I didn’t enter.

Exhibition area, plus the building looks great inside

A modest gallery of some of the most famous images taken by Robert Capa, and his wife.

Ok some renovations but still, not so impressed. By Capa nor the museum.

Amazing exhibition space for contemporary photography.

Small photography/thematic museum with temporary exhibitions. Takes not more then one hour. Facade and entrance must visit.

Brilliant

Very interesting photos covering the entire Capa's life. It worth the price of the ticket that is very reasonable.

Very interesting Capa's exhibition.

Was a bit of a disappointment. Although exhibition was remarkable, the museum itself is supersmall, some areas were even closed. Price-value ratio is not that good.

Great place, everyone who love photography should go there! Also cheap cafe next to the museum❤️

Lovely staff, helpful and patient. Spoke English beautifully, I alas do not speak Hungarian. The exhibition was immersive and I got a real feel of the man as well as the photographer. A journey into his life.

They have beautiful atmosphere, they will have collection of Robert Capa form 06.2023 how they told me

Capa was a photography legend having covered so many conflicts… and some peacetime stories. His framing, his ability to capture the right moment, his sense of light is unbelievable. This exhibition hints at the personal tragedies and hardships he had to deal with. It would have been nice to find out more. There’s a touching end to the show: his last picture and some portraits of him. I’m still wondering why there’s no film about his life. The script is ready!

Great museum! Very well put together. My only wish was that there would be more information about Gerda Taro.

Awesome, went for the Capa exhibit and it takes you through so many emotions apart from the historical importance of his work. It's mind blowing that a single person could have witnessed so many of the 20th centuries biggest events.

Well presented collected works with quirky, intersting, and detail-rich side-exhibits to Capa's early life, the nature and emergence of photo reporting, some technical history, anecdotes from his life. In English and hungarian. A small space, yet to fully explore you'll need an hour and a half.

Robert Capa is amazing! The curator and the team are perfect. You need to stay here at least 2 hours for enjoying the exhibitions.

Robert Capa's photos were incredibly good. They captured the moment perfectly. So they were full of emotions and sometimes with a lot of brutality. Through his photos you were in another world, in the past when they were taken. What's particularly impressive is that he was there for such historic moments and even captured them on camera. He took photographs of both sides that faced each other in the war. Incredibly impressive! I would definitely go again.

Opened in 2023, this permanent exhibition aims to show Capa's life's work. Focus is on the war and crisis photo journalist, from the Spanish civil war through WW II and conflicts in Israel.

We visited the exibition focused on residents of places named after Petőfi which was a great representation of hungarian society (mainly countryside)

Fantastic museum about the best war photographer who ever lived, and died too soon. Everyone involved in setting up and running this exhibition should be praised - comprehensive, detailed and balanced. Not to be missed. Such helpful and knowledgeable staff. Thank you very much. Worth a trip from London for me just on its own.

One of the most beautiful, intelligently designed museums I've ever visited. Worth a visit. If you don't have enough time, they can stamp your ticket and you go back the day after. And Capa is definitely one of the greatest photoreporters in the world. The museum does give him justice.

Situated in the tallest building at the moment it was raised, the place hosts a collection of impressive photos by and with war photographer and journalist Robert Capa. It is also a great place for temporary exhibitions and artists working daily (painters, photographers). If in Budapest, pay a visit, it will be worth it :)

Very interesting and pretty, a nice way to spend 4-5 hours. Would definitely recommend, and they have a student discount.

(Translated by Google) Tidy, few visitors, clean, as it has always been for years. This year's exhibition material creates a very bad mood unfortunately. This brutal realism does not give the everyday visitor the strength to break out of the depressive framework. (Original) Rendezett, kevés látogató, tiszta, ahogy évek óta mindig. Az ez évi kiállítási anyag nagyon rossz hangulatot kelt sajnos. Ez a brutál-realizmus nem ad erőt a mindennapi látogatónak, hogy kitörjön a depresszív keretek közül.

Cool

(Translated by Google) I am a returning visitor, the exhibitions are very high quality, although sometimes crowded (little space). Last time I couldn’t go through the rooms due to the noisy visitors, not even the sound of the continuous video projections could be understood. It was completely unenjoyable. No one spoke to anyone, no one bothered - even in a public nightclub .... I was in company and we turned out in frustration, talking at the checkout about the unpleasant experience. To get a ticket price back - there was no question of that, they just "regretted" the situation with their arms outstretched and shrugged. It was a guided tour earlier - as we learned - and the company of acquaintances felt very familiar and at home on the spot afterwards :( A shower made us wait in the doorway (for lack of ☔), luckily. One of the employees showed up and kindly offered to go back to the museum at a later date with the same ticket, on weekdays when there is peace - and he wrote that on our tickets. Thus, the experience remained very pleasant even without an enjoyable viewing of the photos, because it was considered / considered important that no one should go disappointed, annoyed, or the guests would be happy to return to another great exhibition later :) (Original) Visszatérő látogató vagyok, a kiállítások nagyon színvonalasak, bár néha zsúfoltak (kevés a tér). Legutóbb nem tudtam végignézni a termeket a zajos látogatók miatt, még a folyamatos videóvetítések hangját sem lehetett érteni. Teljesen élvezhetetlen volt. Senki nem szólt rá senkire, senki sem zavartatta magát - akár egy nyilvános szórakozóhelyen.... Társaságban voltam és csalódottan fordultunk ki, a pénztárnál szóvá téve a kellemetlen megtapasztalást. Jegyárat visszakapni - erről szó sem lehetett, csupán széttárt karral, vállvonogatással "sajnálták" a helyzetet. Tárlatvezetés volt korábban - mint megtudtuk - és az ismerősökből álló társaság utólag is nagyon családiasan, otthonosan érezte magát a helyszínen :( Egy zápor várakozásra késztetett minket a kapualjban (☔ híján), szerencsésen. Megjelent az egyik alkalmazott és kedvesen felajánlotta, hogy menjünk vissza a múzeumba majd egy későbbi időpontban ugyanazzal a belépővel, hétköznap, amikor nyugalom van - és ezt rá is írta a jegyeinkre. Így nagyon kellemes maradt az élmény a fotók élvezetes megszemlélése nélkül is, mert fontosnak találták/tartják, hogy senki ne menjen el csalódottan, bosszúsan, illetve a vendégek szívesen térjenek vissza más későbbi remek kiállításra :)

(Translated by Google) I look forward to the renovation. I look forward to new exhibitions. So far, they have been able to buy it. They have more space. (Original) Várom a felújítást. Várom az új kiállításokat. Eddig rendre meg tudtak venni. Kijár nekik a nagyobb tér.

(Translated by Google) Good place for photography lovers. I visited him during the Total Records exhibition, nice and organized. (Original) Buen lugar para los amantes de la fotografía. Lo visité durante la exhibición del Total Records, lindo y organizado.

Robert Capa exhibition is temporarily closed

(Translated by Google) We were on a guided tour of the building. We didn't see anything from the show. it is kept tidy in the building. (Original) Vezetett épületbejáráson voltunk. A kiállításból nem láttunk semmit. az épület szében rendben van tartva.

(Translated by Google) With unfriendly staff, it is difficult to receive visitors. (Original) Barátságtalan személyzettel nehéz látogatókat fogadni.

(Translated by Google) Several exhibitions in 1 place on different topics. Interesting approaches, thought-provoking photos, each picture is a separate story. It would be nice if a lot of people would look at it - and read it! - how colorful, interesting, in some places shocking and beautiful the world! 🙂 The Portrait of Humanity can be seen free of charge until Oct. 11, and the Hungarian Press Photo Exhibition until Nov. 15. (Original) Több kiállítás 1 helyen, különböző témában. Érdekes megközelítések, elgondolkodtató fotók, minden kép külön történet. Jó lenne, ha sokan megnéznék - és elolvasnák! - milyen színes, érdekes, helyenként megrázó és szép a világ! 🙂 A Portrait of Humanity okt.11ig ingyenesen, a Magyar Sajtófotó Kiállítás nov.15ig látható.

must see place for everyone who loves photography

Very nice show. Lots of unknown (at least for me) workss of Capa

Very small exhibition but I really enjoyed it. P.s.: Right now the whole building is under renovation but it is open.

Amazing as always.

Calm and quiet environment, with annotations below the exhibited photos, as expected. Cloakroom and lockers were also accessible.

Private photography gallery. Cappa exhibition was great, although the Nacional Hungarian prize was the most interesting.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting exhibitions !! Is to be recommended! (Original) Sehr interessante Ausstellungen!! Ist zu empfehlen!

(Translated by Google) Fantastic pictures. Noble simplicity in Hungarian and English. Superb photos from Capa. The gallery is so clean and calm. Every picture has a description in english and hungarian language. (Original) Fantasztikus képek. Nemes egyszerűség magyar és angol nyelven. Superb photos from Capa. The gallery is so clean and calm. Every picture have a description in english and hungarian language.

Personally, I very much enjoyed my visit to this museum. You have to read a bit of the backstory to know how the pictures all come together. The subjects presented are relevant and interesting. The atmosphere is refreshing and makes you think and consider things from a different perspective you might not have known before. Technique of course is flawless. Keep in mind, photography is not allowed but it only adds to the experience as you get to study the work with your own eyes instead of the camera or the phone screen.

Fantastic exhibition on Robert Capa, we've been twice and loved it every time.

Absolutely worth a visit if you are into photography. Prices are fair too!

(Translated by Google) I can't give five stars because the exhibition is small for such a large artist, however I recommend a visit (Original) Non posso dare cinque stelle perché la mostra è piccola per un artista così grande, comunque una visita la consiglio

(Translated by Google) The staff is very kind, but I expected more from the place. I consider the Mai Manó House nearby to be more professional in the field of photography. (Original) A személyzet nagyon kedves, de a helytől többet vártam. A közelben található Mai Manó házat többre tartom szakmailag a fotóművészet témakörben.

(Translated by Google) Interesting (Original) Interessante

love

(Translated by Google) Fantastic! (Original) Fantasztikus!

(Translated by Google) View (Original) Nézd meg

(Translated by Google) Capa always beautiful, but in my opinion, among the not many photos present, it would not have spoiled the presence of some of his masterpieces (Original) Capa sempre bello, ma a mio avviso, tra le non molte foto presenti, non avrebbe guastato la presenza di qualche suo capolavoro

Great exhibitions!

(Translated by Google) The exhibition did not charm. Few photographs lacking a more detailed description and overall context. The entire exhibition takes up to 30 minutes. (Original) Výstava neočarila. Málo fotografií postrádajúcich podrobnejší popis a celkovo kontext. Celá výstava zaberie max 30 minút.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and high-quality photography exhibitions. (Original) Érdekes és színvonalas fotográfiai kiállítások.

Interesting place

(Translated by Google) It is worth visiting who loves modern contemporary art 😁 (Original) Érdemes betérni aki szereti a modern kortárs művészeti alkotásokat 😁

(Translated by Google) Very good exhibitions. (Original) Nagyon jó kiállítások.

A fantastic exhibition with a reconstruction of the emblematic places where the photographer Ccapa took part. Sound and 3D backgrounds.
