Hungarian National Gallery

"The Hungarian National Gallery, established in 1957, serves as Hungary’s national art museum and is located within the historic Buda Castle in Budapest. Its collections span the full range of Hungarian art across all genres, with a particular focus on the works of 19th- and 20th-century Hungarian artists, including those who spent part of their careers in Paris and other Western art hubs. While the gallery is dedicated to Hungarian art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest houses the city’s primary collection of international works. The gallery’s extensive exhibitions include Medieval, Renaissance, Gothic, and Baroque Hungarian art, with highlights such as 15th-century wood altars and significant examples of Gothic artistry. Sculpture is well represented, featuring works by noted Hungarian sculptors like Károly Alexy, Miklós Izsó, Miklós Borsos, and Gyula Donáth. The gallery also displays paintings and photographs by prominent artists such as Brassai and Ervin Marton, both of whom contributed to the vibrant pre-World War II art scene in Paris. Key pieces in the collection include works by Mihály Munkácsy, László Paál, Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry ("Ruins of Ancient Theatre, Taormina"), József Rippl-Rónai ("Models"), and Károly Ferenczy. The gallery also features masterpieces by Henrik Weber, Károly Markó the Elder, József Borsos, Miklós Barabás, Bertalan Székely, Pál Szinyei Merse, István Csók, and Béla Iványi-Grünwald. Visitors to the National Gallery can explore a rich array of Hungarian artistic heritage housed in this iconic location."

"Taking a kid to a gallery? Why not! The paintings are often resembles to drawings so, there are plenty of subject we talk about with the kids. But even if your fillet one is not keen on galleries, there is a super nice panorama terrace just below the cupola, where you have an amazing 360 view of the city - which is epic with kids. And also the Castle district itself is like being in a living Disney movie. :)"
