Ernst Museum
About

The Ernst Museum in Budapest, originally established in 1912 by art collector Lajos Ernst, was once home to Hungary’s first public collection held in private hands, focusing on Hungarian historical art and cultural heritage. Over the decades, the museum evolved, losing its permanent collection and transitioning into a vibrant exhibition space for modern and contemporary art. Today, the venue belongs to Műcsarnok – Kunsthalle Budapest and is known for its dynamic temporary exhibitions, often linked to Kunsthalle’s programs, featuring both Hungarian and international artists. The Ernst Museum also offers educational programs for all ages and is centrally located in Budapest’s 6th district, making it a lively part of the city’s cultural and social scene. After viewing innovative and thought-provoking exhibitions, visitors can enjoy the surrounding area’s cafes, bars, and shops, making the Ernst Museum a key destination for contemporary art lovers seeking both cultural enrichment and urban atmosphere.
