Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts

Founded in 1919 by world traveler and art collector Ferenc Hopp, the museum is housed in his former villa and features a rich collection of Asian artifacts, including Japanese woodcuts, Chinese ceramics, and Indian textiles. The museum’s exhibitions rotate regularly, highlighting diverse traditions and artistic expressions from across Asia. A standout feature is the oriental-style garden, designed by Hopp himself, where visitors encounter rare plants, a pagoda, and symbolic sculptures. The museum also hosts Japanese tea ceremonies in a traditional tatami room, deepening the cultural experience. As Hungary’s only institution dedicated solely to Asian art, it serves as both a scholarly resource and a tranquil retreat.
