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.

A huge space filled with, you guessed it, works of Vasarely. There are ones form the beginning of his career, sketches and bit of historical records of his life, through later paintings, tapestries, and kinetic works. The exhibition rooms are big, giving plenty of room to step back and get immersed into the optical illusions, some of which can make you really dizzy, or give you a bit of a headache if look at them for too long! There is a room with works of Vasarely's son and close friend and there appear to be periodic exhibitions of other artists too. Depending on how long you want to stare at paintings a visit would take you 1-1.5 hours, maybe 2 if you're a true Vasarely nerd! Practicalities: Might seem far away from the city centre, but it's easy to reach, especially that the bus station is right in front of it. Toilets available. Wifi available. Card payment available. Museum shop available. Very quiet, even on a Sunday.

Interesting museum, visual arts enjoyment. The surroundings are also nice.

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!

Beautiful place to visit. Was there during the Moon exposition and it added another dimensions to this great museum.

Amazing collection. I wish it was a bit more interractive. It would great to include video of the artist’s life and an audioguide. They are closing earlier (4pm) because of the energy crisis. I wasn’t aware of this so I came at 3pm and had to rush. The manager very nicely welcomed me to come back again the next day with the same ticket if I wanted to spend more time.

Interesting creations of an interesting mind. One of the most original artists of 20. Century, Vasarely. The museum is in the castle of the noble, ancient Zichy family.

(Translated by Google) New Years closing at 4 p.m. Although their website mentioned 19h .. (Original) Fermeture du jour de l’an à 16h. Bien que leur site internet mentionnait 19h..

Cool & interesting permanent and current excebitition with friendly and helpful staff for low prices. I liked the venue a lot, not to crowded & the art pieces of Vasarely are definitely fascinating and something for the whole family!

Great atelier for kids inside the museum, and on top of it, the exhibition is really great!

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.

This is one of the best museums I've been in my life, the collection is amazing, the personal super helpful and nice and the whole experience was amazing! I wish more people know about it 🤩

I love Victor Vasarely and obviously this museum has a great collection of his works. The museum building is also very nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the temporary exhibitions as well. Highly recommend if you like modern art/op art

Artist deserved more. Museum employees are kind and museum shop is well-stocked, but works displayed aren’t particularly interesting. Guess most of Vasarely’s best works belong to French museums or private collectors…

A wonderful high-vaulted large open-plan space in which to view a good selection of Vasarely paintings. Recommended for lovers of modern abstract art.

A very complete collection of Victor vasarely’s art works in a very large exhibition hall. All kinds of styles, all kinds of colors, unrestrained. Worth a visit if you like art galleries.

(Translated by Google) If you love the art c is unavoidable. Super friendly staff. 1 speaks little French. wonderful museum (Original) Si on aime l art c est incontournable. Personnel super sympa. Parle 1 peu le français. Magnifique musée

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.

Worth visiting and we’ll organise the price is 2500HUF, ,the place is not too crowded and Wi-Fi and sofa as well, the information is clear-great

Vast collection of Vasarely works, including paintings, sculptures, prints. Very interesting and well-curated for a good price too.

A superb overview about Vasarely's oeuvre but "Due to the public health emergency caused by Covid-19, the Vasarely Museum will be closed for an indefinite period."

(Translated by Google) Wonderful show, we were charmed by the atmosphere of the place. Very nice surprise for a very modest price, we recommend! (Original) Magnifique exposition, nous avons été charmés par l'atmosphère du lieu. Très belle surprise pour un prix très modeste, nous recommandons !

Mediocre collection with few highlights and more lackluster early works and drafts. For the money (800) it's not a rip-off at least.

Little beautiful museum, very nice also the temporary exposition!

If you're interested in the works of Vasarely, a truly visionary artist of our time, definitely visit this museum. Be prepared, it has tones of his art, as he was very productive. This is one of those hidden gems of the city, and is great for all generations. They even have a creative lab for kids.

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…

Wonderful collection, a true gem.

(Translated by Google) Very interesting modern art museum dedicated to the artist's works Vasarely, father of op art. You can see the evolution of his work from the early works to the most important works.

(Translated by Google) We were there on a class trip (Original) osztály kiránduláson voltunk ott

(Translated by Google) A very nice museum with many very large paintings. A bit far from the center of Budapest (10 minutes by train) but the area deserves a stop and the few restaurants nearby are to discover (Original) Un très beau musée avec beaucoup de très grandes toiles. Un peu éloigné du centre de Budapest (10 minutes de train) mais le quartier mérite qu’on s’y arrête et les quelques petits restaurants situés à proximité sont à découvrir

(Translated by Google) To have ! (Original) A voir !

(Translated by Google) I really liked vasarely's paintings! (Original) Mi sono piaciuti molto i quadri di vasarely!

(Translated by Google) I don't know much about art - I didn't like it (Original) Ja się nie znam na sztuce-mi się nie podobało

Peaceful and easy to get to.

I thought the staff were actually quite friendly, but the museum has a habit of lending out the collection, so it's difficult to be sure if there are any Vasarely works of art there. Also, most of the collection is on the first floor, there isn't an elevator, so no wheelchair access, despite the museum being renovated in 2017. Museum seems to be missing the point of displaying art to the general public.

Not really interesting. We couldn't see the permanent exhibitions though. Prices for students are really low, so that's a plus. Staff is really nice, which seems to be unique in Budapest

Really impressive art and you will love it, if you enjoy the visual effects of psychodelic trips. The artist is working with kinetic effects and optical illusions in his paintings. It makes a difference from which angle you are viewing and observing the paintings. Keep that in mind, that it can take some time, if your brain is switching the perspective. Therefore take your time, if you visit this museum.

Came here as I was nearby for the Night of the Museum. Didn’t know who Vasarely was initially but grew to enjoy his work as I toured the museum. Well-maintained space and great exhibits.

There's more than meet the eye in this strange modern Pop-Art Museum. It takes 45 mins the visit but it's very far from the centre. Luckily there are also the Varga Museum and the archaelogical Aquincum in the nearbyes, so you can spend the half day in this zone. To see...!!

So disappointd to find this gallery closed on all the days we were in Budapest. Exactly the style of art i adore. Gutted. Seems pretty pointless setting it up if it is so rarely available.

Fantastic place to discover this magic painter.

The collection is amazing. Absolutely perfect. But the staff still think we live in socialist country. Soo unpleasant. Hassel because of a handbag in the form of a backpack. Judgemental looks, fortunately could not understand their remarks. We were the only visitors there.

I was only vaguely aware of Victor Vasarely, having seen his work in art books. This is an excellent and compact gallery of Vasarely's work starting from his time as a graphic designer. Google Maps shows this museum as wheelchair accessible but it isn't. We struggled to get in and then it turned out the stair lift to the upper gallery was out of order. So my partner had to wait downstairs. There's plenty of space either side of the main steps for a wheelchair ramp. And the steps through the rear garden to the galleries could be turned into ramps.

Most of his works can be found here.

(Translated by Google) We would have visited the museum with a child and a dog. The child and the dog could fit in the yard, though there was a surprising amount of agreement! The exhibition and the attached programs (workshop, management) were good. We received a marked amount (0.5 dl) at the wine tasting. (Original) Gyerekkel és kutyával látogattunk volna meg a múzeumot. A gyerek és a kutya az udvarban elfért,igaz ezen meglepően sokat kellett egyezkedni! A tárlat és a csatolt programok (workshop,vezetés) jó volt.. A bórkostolón jelzés értékű(0,5dl) mennyiséget kaptunk.

(Translated by Google) It was very interesting, the guide was very good, without it we would not have really understood the concept. (Original) Érdekes volt nagyon, kifejezetten jó volt a tárlatvezetés, anélkül nem igazán értettük volna a koncepciót.

(Translated by Google) It’s worth checking out if someone loves the artist’s work. Spacious spaces, good to look at. There is no air conditioning, so it is very warm inside in summer, but it has a very pleasant inner garden, in the immediate vicinity of the Kobuci Garden. (Original) Megéri megnézni, ha valaki szereti a művész munkáit. Tágas terek, jól lehet nézelődni. Légkondícionálás nincs, ezért nyáron nagyon meleg van bent, viszont van egy nagyon kellemes belső kertje, a Kobuci kert közvetlen szomszédságában.

(Translated by Google) He was a brilliant man. (Original) Zseniális ember volt.

(Translated by Google) I really like Vasarely's work. Not the artistic content, but rather the extraordinary creativity that caught me. I recommend it to anyone who has not seen the exhibition. (Original) Nagyon szeretem Vasarely munkáit. Nem a művészi tartalom, hanem inkább a rendkívüli kreativítás ami megfogott. Ajánlom mindenkinek, aki még nem látta a kiállítást.

(Translated by Google) Interesting place, centrally located in Óbuda. :) (Original) Érdekes hely, központi helyen Óbudán. :)

It is an important Hungarian op art collection.

Lovely staff, amazing art

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately we found the museum closed, even though we visited the website beforehand, but it didn't make much sense! (Original) Sajnos zárva találtuk a múzeumot, pedig előtte felkerestük a honlapot, de értelme nem sok volt!

One of my favourite museum visits ever

amaising museum, a bit off the center and the municipal marketing, but a great place to see. good shop as well. easy to get to with the regional train from buda

Art could be so easy

Great museum of abstract/geometric art

It is a museum: kind a boring 😁 the good part is that at the end, you can try to create your own Vasarely style painting from stickers.

Marvelous museum with a fascinating permanent collection of graphic and kinetic art and currently an interesting temporary exhibition on the moon landing.

They simply don't want to work, didn't tell us how many rooms there were and they acted really rude, at 17.30 they already wanted us out. I didn't enjoy it.

Terrific museum to visit in Hungary for about 1-1.5 hours.lota of optical illusion art to be seen

(Translated by Google) Small and friendly (Original) Petit et sympathique

(Translated by Google) A little 'far from downtown but worth going. (Original) Un po' lontano dal centro ma vale la pena andare.

(Translated by Google) Awesome museum! (Original) Museo stupendo!

Very nice little Museum. Very interesting and the tickets are really cheap.

(Translated by Google) A very rich collection of Vasarely's works. There is a creative corner where anyone can try to make similar creations. It also hosts temporary contemporary exhibitions. It's a good program for kids too. (Original) Nagyon gazdag gyűjtemény Vasarely műveiből. Van kreatív sarok, ahol bárki próbálkozhat hasonló alkotások készítésével. Időszaki kortárs kiállításoknak is helyet ad. Gyerekekkel is jó program.

(Translated by Google) We participated in a prepared, enthusiastic guided tour of the Mama Watch program series. Thank You :) (Original) Felkészült , lelkes tárlatvezetésen vettünk részt a Mama NÉzd program sorozaton belül. Köszönjük :)

(Translated by Google) In addition to the Vasarely Exhibition, there are also two upstairs halls where OSAS international thematic exhibitions are on display, especially the 20th-21st. century concrete, conceptual, geometric and op-art and generative trends. (Original) A Vasarely kiállításon kívül az emeleti két termet is érdemes megnézni, ahol az OSAS nemzetközi tematikus kiállításai láthatók, főként a 20-21. századi "concrete", "konceptuális", "geometrikus és op-art", illetve a "generatív" irányzatok területeiről.

A great museum about Vasarely's work

(Translated by Google) Interesting and fun (Original) Interessante e divertente

(Translated by Google) Great museum. (Original) Skvělé muzeum.

(Translated by Google) A bit far from the center of Budapest but nice little museum to do. (Original) Un peu éloigné du centre de Budapest mais petit musée sympa à faire.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful exhibition of the pioneer Op-art. A few steps from the tram stop. (Original) Nádherná expozice průkopníka Op-artu. Pár kroků od tramvajové zastávky.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful works, well highlighted in places (Original) Belles oeuvres, bien mises en valeur dans les lieux

(Translated by Google) We specially postponed our trip to budapest until this year because we wanted to visit this museum and it was closed for restoration for a while. Now the Vasarely collection turned out to be borrowed ..... Was not on the website when we booked our trip a few weeks ago. (Original) Wij hebben speciaal onze reis naar boedapest tot dit jaar uitgesteld omdat we dit museum wilden bezoeken en het een tijd gesloten was voor restauratie. Nu bleek de vasarelycollectie uitgeleend.... . Stond niet op de website toen we enkele weken geleden onze reis boekten.

(Translated by Google) No current opening hours! Did Covid close it until March, or is it still closed? (Original) Nincs aktuális nyitvatartási információ! A Covid márciusig záratta be, vagy most is zárva?

(Translated by Google) The number of large-format works by Vasarely is incredible, two floors of his work (Original) Increible la cantidad de obras a gran formato de Vasarely, dos plantas de su obra

(Translated by Google) It looked very very nice but we found the door closed, covid. It appears to have been found on their website but unfortunately we did not see it on the first page, but by browsing the general information page. The neighboring museum could not give us more information. So what can I say? The front door is thus closed, positioning us, in front, speechless. Can only admire the magnificence and the know-how of the blacksmith who sculpted this work to dazzle our eyes when it would prevent us from visiting the museum. And so not to regret having come, even for nothing. (Original) Ça avait l'air très très sympa mais on a trouvé porte close, covid. Paraît il renseignée sur leur site internet mais malheureusement on ne l'a pas vu en première page, mais en fouinant dans la page infos générales. Le musée voisin ne pouvait pas nous renseigner davantage. Alors que dire ? La porte d'entrée est ainsi fermée, nous positionnant, devant, bouche bée. Ne pouvant que admirer la magnificence et le savoir faire du forgeron qui a sculpté cette œuvre pour éblouir nos yeux lorsque celle ci nous interdirait la visite du musée. Et ainsi ne pas regretter d'être venu, même pour rien.
