The Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest is the biggest museum of Hungary dedicated to fine arts. The Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest is one of the finest artistic institutions of Europe because of its permanent exhibitions and wide collection of artistic masterpieces. The museum also arranges many guided tours, excellent programs and even a jazz salon.
The Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest was constructed under a commission by the millennium act of 1896. The Museum of Fine Arts was inaugurated on 1st December 1906 and was conducted by I. Franz Joseph. When the museum had initially opened it did not have any of the memorable treasures, which it boasts of today, but gradually over the years the collection was enhanced by public donations of personal works.
The most remarkable episode in the history of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest was the building of the National Gallery. In 1875, the fine arts collection of the National Museum was transferred to the National Gallery, which acted as a background for the Museum of Fine Arts.
The collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest includes Antique, Old Sculpture, Egyptian, Old Gallery, Modern and Graphics works. One can find works of the past as well as of the present artists and sculptors.
The Museum is easily accessible by M1 and trolley buses 75, 79, 72, 20, 4 and 30.
