The Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest (Szépművészeti Múzeum) is one of the most prestigious art museums in Central Europe, located in Heroes' Square, one of the most iconic areas of the Hungarian capital. Inaugurated in 1906, the museum houses a vast collection ranging from ancient art to the 19th century.
The permanent collection is divided into different sections: Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art, paintings by European masters, sculptures, prints, and drawings. Among the exhibited masterpieces are works by great artists such as Raphael, El Greco, Tiepolo, Velázquez, Goya, Cézanne, Monet, and Rodin. The Italian and Spanish painting galleries are particularly renowned, as well as the collection of ancient sculptures.
The museum regularly organizes internationally renowned temporary exhibitions, events, and educational programs that make it a reference point for art lovers. The building itself, in neoclassical style, is a true work of art, with elegant colonnades and exhibition spaces of great charm.
Thanks to its central location, near Városliget Park and Széchenyi Baths, the Museum of Fine Arts is a must-visit for those who want to discover the cultural richness of Budapest.
