Don't believe what Google Maps tells you. This museum is closed completely. In 2021 it will reopen in a brand new building in City Park near Heroes Square. By all means go to see the exterior of the building to view the large collection of busts and monuments to notable Hungarians.

(Translated by Google) Temporarily closed until next year for renovation, it still shows off in its majestic venue, which once housed the Palace of Justice. Imposing and with a somewhat rhetorical architecture, it contrasts in the forms and volumes with the more eclectic and imaginative Parliament, whose palace stands practically opposite. Pedestrians (and trams) have recently been returned to the square in front, the historical stage of events, sometimes even bloody, which have characterized the troubled history of this country. @ gargio76 (Original) Temporaneamente chiuso sino al prossimo anno per ristrutturazione, fa comunque sfoggio di se nella sua maestosa sede, che un tempo ospitava il Palazzo di Giustizia. Imponente e dall'architettura alquanto retorica, si contrappone nelle forme e nei volumi al più eclettico e fantasioso Parlamento, il cui palazzo sorge praticamente dirimpetto. Recentemente è stata restituita ai pedoni (e ai tram) l'antistante piazza, palcoscenico storico di manifestazioni, a volte anche cruente, che hanno caratterizzato la storia travagliata di questo Paese. @gargio76

(Translated by Google) Large Ethnographic Museum. Unfortunately we did not manage to visit. The external appearance of the building is extremely picturesque. It certainly hides a lot of rich cultural heritage. (Original) Velik etnografski muzej. Žal ga nismo uspeli obiskati. Zunanja podoba stavbe je izjemno slikovita. V njej se prav gotovo skriva veliko bogasto kulturne dediščine.

We really liked this museum. It is situated near the embankment not far from the bridge that is over the Danube. The part of the area is Pest. We managed to visit only one floor exhibition, as the others were closed and they will be open in a week. It was an exhibition on the third floor- the permanent one. We were really delighted when we saw Warhol's work as well as Picasso's several works. The price is 5 euros. The place is quite calm and picturesque. We like the interior. The museum souvenir shop was nice, but we would like to recommend to have more books about art in English. By the way if you have big bags or backpacks, you can leave them in the special lockers for free.

I have been to the Ludwig Museum twice so far. I love the building as well as the contemporary artworks. They have a cool museum shop and a restsurant area. I tried the food there and it was excellent. I truly recommend this museum for all the contemporary art lovers. Sometimes, they organize events, too.

I really liked it! We've been there on saturday and it was almost empty. No line no waiting. Depends on the exhibitions but generally you can buy tickets for all of them or separately. You can use your student ID for discounts. One of the current exhibition is time machine, I recommend you to see it. It is just 800 forint with student card (1600 for adults). We spent 1-2 hour inside but depends on you ofc. It might take a half day to finish all of the exhibitions. Plus building itself and the garden next to it are also worth to see :)

Modern arts musem open between 10 - 18. A regular ticket starts from 1600 Ft and can go as high as 8000 Ft for a season ticket which usually contains the entrance for the museum and the exhibitions. Aside from other pieces, you will find works by Warhol and other pop art creators on its three floors. There's also a library that's collecting activity focuses on Hungarian and international art after 1945 as its main subject area, with a special emphasis on the art of the Central and Eastern European regions. The place is really neat and interesting, but you probably need to be a fan of the modern arts to fully enjoy and understand the experience.

I have been in this beautiful historical building during an event for children with workshops and live music. The permanent collection is very interesting if you like this kind of history, anyway it could be a good place to visit for everyone.

Too bad this museum is now closed. I came here on a class trip a while back. Loved the textiles! A thousand years of culture should definitely be on public display.

Very cool space with some really interesting temporary exhibitions. The permanent collection has a few gems and it’s decent price for a combined ticket.

For sure I found the Time Machine (3rd Floor) and Emplotment (2nd Floor) to be the most attractive and interesting exhibitions. I didn't really get the Extended Present exhibition (1st Floor), seems a bit weird to me and trying to make something out of nothing. But then I'm probably not thinking deeply enough. There is lift access to all Floors and an information booklet on each of the three exhibitions which will give you as much detail as you might want around the thinking behind each collection. Very enjoyable anyway and worth visiting for the 2nd & 3rd Floors. The building is very modern and spacious, ideal for the display of contemporary Artworks.

Boring and uncreative. Too small exposition for this price. No student discounts! Unfriendly and uneducated staff. Overpriced but basic souvenir shop. Beautiful modern building. Great location. Do not suggest.

Well curated museum of interesting exhibitions. We were there a few weeks ago and saw the Boris Lurie & Wolf Vostell exhibition. We joined an english language tour which lasted only 30 minutes. It was fascinating and could have easily been longer. Unfortunately the exhibition is now no longer available to see. However, gallery spaces are light and breezy and there's some lovely views over the Danube and there are other exhibitions that may well be worth seeing.

The museum is offering temporary and permanent modern art exhibitions. I loved it huge space, enough air for thoughts and exploring. The recent temporary exhibition is full of interesting metaphors, interesting to see the artworks. We really likes that explanation was provided to each piece, it makes it easier to understand the intentions of the creator. Permanent exhibition is also new and there are a lot of interesting works as well, just thezt are not explained, so you are just being lost in your senses and creativity. Definitely a must visit place in Budapest! Prices are affordable, tickets are available online, szep kartya is accepted here. Reserve 2-3 hours for sure in your schedule.

The museum has done a great job of curating some great content from all over eastern Europe, however the commentary about the artworks is not there, which makes you difficult to understand the essence of these works. It's better to have a preliminary understanding of contemporary art from eastern european region before you step into Ludwig, it helps to relate many works that are exhibited across three floors. Worth a visit if you're an art lover, else skip it!

Such a big and quiet museum. I got to see free contemporary exhibitions because of its 30 year anniversary and found international artists' works of art together with ones from Hungarian artists. The staff on the evening spoke English and was generally friendly and helpful. Cloakroom is big and free of charge, toilets are tidy and the shop lovely and well stocked too.

Good quality art museum, £7 / $10/ ft2500 entry fee. The 'imaginary camera's exhibition is garbage, i'd only pay for the DeadWeb exhibition rather than the dual ticket

What a venue for a meal. Food was fantastic to match the decor. You've got to try this place before it is turned into the Hungarian supreme Court again.

(Translated by Google) I was not interested in the contents and did not know anything at that time, but there is a power that attracts people only by the beautiful appearance. (Original) 中身には興味なかったし何かがその時は分からなかったが、外観の美しさだけで人を惹きつけるチカラがある。

(Translated by Google) Ethnographic Museum - The building of the Museum is a Neo-Renaissance palace built at the end of the 19th century, a former Court of Auditors and a Court of Cassation. The museum gives a complete picture of agricultural society from the 18th to the early 20th century, before the Treaty of Trianon. Culture, fishing, crafts, markets and fairs, family and holidays are well illustrated with photos, costumes, household items, furniture and more. (Original) Етнографски музей - сградата на музея е дворец в стил неоренесанс, построен в края на XIX век, бивша Съдебна палата и Касационен съд. Музеят дава пълна представа за земеделското общество от XVIII до началото на XX век, преди Трианонския мирен договор. Културата, риболовът, занаятчийството, пазарите и панаирите, семейството и празниците са добре илюстрирани със снимки, костюми, предмети от бита, мебели и др.

Wasn't impressed with the permanent exhibits at all. The 120 years of Hungarian Film exhibit was informative though.

We visited the "Time machine" exhibition. Price: 1600 HUF. I guess we expected something more - we didn't really find it interesting compared to other contemporary art galleries (for example it's not interactive at all). Still a nice way to spend the afternoon. The building is clean and modern (toilets as well) with nice view, the staff was friendly and helpful.

Intriguing modern exhibitions in a beautiful building. They also had some Picasso on display. I recommend visiting the permanent exhibitions on the last Sunday of the month because them it is free to visit for people under the age of 26 and families!

I would love to recommend for couples or friends to date. This museum was not too big as it looks. But exhibits are interesting :))) So, If you wanna go there don't expect big and more. Just enjoy :))) and have a good day ☺️

Went to see the exhibitions about “The cuteness factor and Time machine” very much impressed with the staffs, cleanliness and exhibitions settings - easy to follow and you will eventually walk through all the art easily. The toilets are also very clean and high technology 😂. I went there on Sunday afternoon, pretty quiet and just right amount of people so you can enjoy art privately and peacefully 💕 highly recommended! Also after the exhibition, you can enjoy the cafe with affordable price and allow you to sit in the front with shade and good breeze from the wind 💨.

Great, great museum with a fair entry fee. The exhibition halls looked very spacious and clean and I was amazed by the works on display. Of course this always depends on the current exhibition, but generally speaking I loved this museum!

Want to give 3.5 rating but apparently not possible. Some of them were good, they got interactive workshop which was awesome.

Amazing architecture of the building and music hall as well! But exhibitions are poor! That one dedicated to 30-years anniversary (free one) is very unfinished. But the place in general has unique atmosphere, that the only thing that matters :)

Worth a visit especially if it's raining like it was for us. Some decent installations

Prettiest building that I saw in Budapest. Absolutely must to visit. Even exposition of museum is small

Good collection of Contemporary Art and a nice exposition. I recommend to visit

Intersting little museum with works pf modern art and design on display.

Good place ! It like « Beaubourg » in France. We have see the « time machine » exposition. It was nice ! But the thing is, it was only one floor open. So only one exposition at this time. Too bad.

One of the best museums on earth. Just visit and see for yourself.

Stunning Building. As a museum, I found the exhibits a bit unconnected, as other museums make more of an effort to connect a gallery and an exhibit with more of one solid idea. If you like Contemporary Art, it's great. It was worth to me to see the building light up at night. Light panels change color and blink, it's fun although a tad kitchy.

Huge museum. Free entrance with Budapest Card only for the permanent expo. Each level has its own expo. A little bit far from the centre. It’s industrial area restored but it deserves!

(Translated by Google) There are very modern works on display here that are sometimes difficult for me to interpret. Nevertheless, it is worth visiting the exhibitions because it is a good experience to see contemporary works of art and there are many valuable ones among them. (Original) Nagyon modern művek vannak itt kiállítva, amik nekem néha már nehezen értelmezhetőek. Ennek ellenére érdemes megnézni a kiállításokat, mert jó élmény kortárs műalkotásokat látni és sok értékes is van közöttük.

(Translated by Google) Super interesting place! But they visited only the district. There is not only the Ludwig Museum, and the theater, and the spiral wall Zikkurat (the meeting of God with the earth), and a concert hall. Everything on a huge area and the buildings themselves are huge. No wonder we went :) I highly recommend visiting (Original) Супер интересное место! Но побывали только в округе.Там не только музей Людвига, и театр, и спиральная стенка Zikkurat (встреча бога с землей), и концертный зал. Все на огромной площади и сами постройки огромных размеров.

very nice building just in the middle of the capital.

Closed Reading the reviews I thought it will be open in 2020, it's not Building is cute enough

This place is wonderful, a come back in old years, in the old place of justice

Really beautiful building, which was the palace of justice until around WWII. (The building itself was the runner-up in the competition to design the parliament building at the end of the 19th century.) The ethnographic exhibit is extensive.

We checked out the world press photo exhibition. The building is beautiful inside and out, and the exhibitions are quality too.

Museum of shoes mostly. Good collection of Hungarian and other cultures, pretty cool. Descriptions of items need more detail, dates would help.

Gorgeous building with a great insight into both Hungarian and other ethnic lives

(Translated by Google) I haven't entered. (Original) 入場はしていませんが。

(Translated by Google) The museum contains collections representing various communities, ethnic groups from all regions of the world. A trip to this museum can be a real adventure for children. A child can be shown by an illustrative example, the past and present of mankind, how cultures and generations differ.

(Translated by Google) But what an impressive building, the ethnographic museum. Right in front of the Hungarian Parliament building. The architecture and design of the building is very striking, you will see it if you visit the Parliament, it is surrounded by other buildings of the same construction. This one in particular has a spectacular facade, like almost everything in Budapest. If you have the opportunity to visit the museum, I recommend it. (Original) Pero qué impresionante edificio, el museo etnográfico. Justo frente al edificio del parlamento húngaro. La arquitectura y diseño que tiene el edificio es muy llamativo, lo verás si visitas el parlamento, está rodeado de otros edificios de igual construcción.

(Translated by Google) The museum moved to its present location in 1973, for the former Hungarian Royal Mansion in 1896 it was completed according to the plans of Alajos Hauszmann. The plan to establish the museum dates back to March 5, 1872, when János Xántus was appointed guardian of the Ethnographic Department of the Hungarian National Museum. His first exhibition is also named after János Xántus. The museum's permanent exhibition entitled “The Traditional Culture of the Hungarian People” presents folk culture through the material memories of the everyday life and holidays of the Hungarian peasantry. (Original) A múzeum 1973-ban költözött mai helyére, az egykori Magyar Királyi Kúria számára 1896-ban Hauszmann Alajos tervei szerint elkészült igazságügyi palotába. A múzeum alapításának terve 1872. március 5-ére nyúlik vissza, amikor Xántus Jánost kinevezték a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum Etnográfiai Osztályának őrévé. Első kiállítása is Xántus János nevéhez fűződik. A múzeum állandó kiállítása „A magyar nép hagyományos kultúrája” címmel a népi kultúrát mutatja be a magyar parasztság hétköznapjainak és ünnepeinek tárgyi emlékein keresztül.

Fantastic trip for my artistic soul. Exposition time machine really took my breath away. Recommended!

Looks great at night with colored light show. It features modern architecture. I would like to visit inside

Great exhibition. Amazing interrior, lovely place to visit if you are a fan of art.

Small but interesting permanent exposition. Also have temporary ones.

Nice exhibitions

It was quite average experience, museum employees were constantly following us. Also, my expectations were too high. There were a few cool things though

It's a contemporary arts museum, that said, the enjoyment of a visitor derives from the content of the changing exhibitions. It's advised to check what's on and to pay attention to other activities on museum grounds (festivals, open air shows, etc). The museum's location is a bit off the main tourist areas, it can be reached easily be public transportation, or a 40min by foot from the Parliament along the Danube.

Interesting contemporary art. There is a lot to see in the exhibitions and it is pretty cheap

A nice museum for contemporary art. Visit it only if you are a fun of such works - it might not be for everyone.

'Time machine' was one of the best exhibitions I've ever seen! Affordable price, safe lockers, and amazing art. 10 out of 10!

Review based on an exhibition, not a permanent collection, so it will get outdated with the change of the exhibition! Not being an art critic it's hard to review the exhibition. I enjoyed the mix of selected art pieces from famous modern art names—Johns, Rauschenberg, Picasso—to contemporary Hungarian artics whose names I (of course) do not recall. The works were well displayed and nicely spaced out, so even if there were many people I doubt it'd feel crowded (this is in contrast to some exhibits in the Szépművészeti Múzeum). The ticket was cheap for this size of exhibition. The whole museum building was very quiet, even though it was the weekend. Perhaps because it's located a bit further away from the centre. There is a nice cafe with an outdoor sitting space.

If you’re into 19 minutes videos of tongues sticking out of walls and plastic toys thrown on the floor, it’s really worth a visit. Two Picassos and a Lichtenstein on the 3rd floor. Beautiful ziggurat outside

Amazing museum in an amazing building on an amazing place. Too bad the shop doesn't have more personalized merchandise (prints, nicer magnets, t-shirts, notebooks...), because everything inside it is expensive and little bit random.

I visited the museum using the Budapest Card, which gives access to the permanent exhibition and 50% discount to the temporary exhibitions. The permanent exhibition isn't very big. One floor with mostly paintings. I'd recommend paying for the temporary ones. At the time of this review, they are very interesting and add two whole floors to the visit.

Gorgeous varied contemporary museum. Videos, sculpture, paintings, mixed media… Ticket price was around €4 for students to access all 3 floors.

We enjoyed all the exhibits and though they change I would suggest getting the ticket to see them all. The various sections had good English and Hungary descriptions. The building is a work of art in itself. Easy to get to via public transport.

Fantastic museum! This is definitely a must if you like contemporary art. The works are prime quality. The curators seem to really know what they are doing. The building itself is amazing. Loved it.

Went there on a public holiday, there was no wait, except for the jacket hanger/closet but it went by fast. There was only 2 floors, the “Time Machine” exhibition and a temporary “Cloud” show. There are nice pieces there, some Picassos’

Positively surprised by the high level of temporary exhibitions on display. The gallery is a bit outside of the city center but I am so glad I went. The staff is lovely! Recommend for contemporary art enthusiasts.

Sadly main exhibition closes at 18 contradicting Google maps data. Be warned! Also main part of the building is a concert hall, so museum is small and disappointing. Beautiful river view is an only thing which can justify a long journey here.

Beautiful museum. In June 2023 I visited it and the fantastic exhibitions. The display was perfect as well. A must if you're in Budapest and you love contemporary art.

Amazing contemporary art museum. They have different exhibitions on different floors and you can buy a combi ticket for all or decide on only one. Very nice rooms and collected art. Espacially the discriptions add a lot to the experience, they provide you with all you need to know about the artist as well as the art.

Amazing exhibition , cuteness overloadddd!! Bringing my nostalgia back 🧶💕

very professional contemporary art museum with good exhibitions and clear exhibitions , big spaces and lots of video art , there is also a library and a nice cafe -highly recommend

Ticket discount under 26 wasn’t available for us because we’ve been told that if we are not EU citizens we don’t have right for discount, despite we are EU residents and paying taxes on the same law. Expositions are very good, but employees around the building made us uncomfortable, walking around us all the time like guards, it felt like being in prison, not museum. They could be more friendly

Nice exhibition, but difficult to catch the main idea.

Lovely building, that needs some proper signage. A bit of a mystery tour when you alight the tram and start looging for the Ludwig Museum. The name is on the river side of the building, great if you arrive by boat! Two out of three exhibitions were good but the third an "Emperors new clothes" affair, the artist did a magnificent job job of fooling the powers that be..........

It was super excellent concert. Varnus Xaver performing was extraordinary!

I love this museum !! It is so new and clean, definitely cannot miss it if you visit museums in budapest ~~
