Set in the heart of Budapest at Szent György Square, the Hungarian National Gallery opens its doors in 2025 with a vibrant calendar of guided tours, workshops, and unique exhibitions. Visitors can explore the evolution of Hungarian art, from historical masterpieces to quirky themed tours, all available in both English and Hungarian.
Highlights from October to November
The spotlight shines on the major Gyula Czimra retrospective, “Árnyék nélkül” (“Without Shadow”), running from May 23 to October 26, with multiple tours led by curator Marianna Kolozsváry. History buffs can join the “Történelmünk a vásznakon” (“Our History on Canvases”) tour, while fashion lovers will enjoy “Állandó változásban – Divattörténet a festményeken” (“Constantly Changing – Fashion History in Paintings”) on November 8.
Fun for All Ages
Families aren’t left out—kids can get hands-on at “Színezd újra!” (“Color It Again!”) creative museum workshops, or wander through fall-themed “Tipegők – Aranyló ősz” (“Toddlers – Golden Autumn”) sessions. Adults might catch the playful “A nagy bajuszkörkép” (“The Big Mustache Panorama”) or lively events like “Kaland a Galériában – Márton-napi mulatságok” (“Adventure in the Gallery – Saint Martin’s Day Festivities”).
More Than Art
The venue doesn’t skimp on variety—from Sunday choir concerts and Italian guided tours to building walks like “Épületséta – Kriptától a kupoláig” (“Building Walk – From Crypt to Dome”). Organizers note that programs and timings may change, so check ahead and consider adding the event to your bucket list. For more details or to register, contact the gallery directly.
