An absolute must-go in Budapest if you're into art. Enter into the wonderful world of Victor Vasarely. From his early works up to his later work in bright colors filled with optical illusions. Easy to get to with Line 5 from Batthyany Tér, just 4 stops.

I have always loved the later works of Vasarely, and as a teacher of art history, I’ve always loved seeing my students decide they like abstract art after all once they have seen his works. It’s a wonder to them that he did these without the aid of computer software and that he’s messing with our perception. Coming to the museum was an awesome experience because it helps the visitor trace his development over his long and productive artistic career. The ground floor houses works from his earlier years, including his figurative works, as well as his early experimentation with shifting perspectives. The upper floor is filled with his wonderful Op Art works — large scale, glowing with bold colors, and seeing to expand off the canvas into our space. The wall text is extremely helpful, and museum as a whole is terrific.

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.

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.

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!
