Budapest Art Galleries

(Budapest, Hungary)

The many art galleries in Budapest appeal to all tastes and contain everything from traditional Hungarian paintings to the latest in modern art works. Many contemporary exhibitions are regularly staged at the Budapest Exhibition Hall on the Szabad Sajto Utca in District V. Here you will not only find modern and colourful paintings, but also exhibitions of photography, sculptures and large installations.

Nearby, the Dorottya Gallery specialises in emerging regional and local Budapest artists, while the Ernst Galeria is also known for its Hungarian works and various antiquities. Within the Royal Palace itself, the Hungarian National Gallery features paintings dating back as far as the 10th century, with guided tours allowing you to fully appreciate the many pieces.


The Budapest Museum of Applied Arts is known more for its stunning building than it is for its content, while other definite highlights include the Museum of Fine Arts in District XIV and also the Budapest Gallery Exhibition House.

This attraction offers a spacious interior, elegant architecture and a number of appealing sculptures, together with many large and eye-catching modern paintings.
