Aquincum Museum
In the museum and in the surrounding area with its ruins and lapidarium, visitors can see relics of the 2000-year-old Roman civilian town of Aquincum, including the world-famous water-organ.




Museum of Fine Arts
The temporary and permanent exhibitions feature an outstanding collection of Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman art, along with a selection of European masterpieces including the second largest collections of Spanish masters (El Greco, Goya, Murillo) outside Spain.



Hungarian National Gallery
The collection of the Hungarian National Gallery preserves around 100 000 art objects dating from the foundation of the state to the present day. There are permanent exhibitions of 19th and 20th century Hungarian painting and sculpture, and regular large-scale temporary displays.



Hungarian National Museum
As the first museum founded in Hungary, this museum is one of the finest examples of Hungarian Classicism where hungarian history is presented from the foundation of the state up until 1990. The Hungarian Holy Crown and the Crown Jewels was seen here, but on 1 of january 2000 were moved to the Parlament. Stonework remains from the Roman period, the Middle Ages and from early modern times.

The museum played a key role in the 1848-49 revolution and as such it became one of its symbols; for this reason the National Museum is to this day one of the focal points of celebrations marking the national holiday of March 15.

Hungarian Agricultural Museum
The largest agricultural museum in Europe is housed in a spectacular building in the City Park’s Vajdahunyad Castle, which combines Romanesque-, Gothic-, Renaissance- and Baroque-style sections. Its internattionally-noted display is made up of agricultural, hunting and forestry objects.







House of Terror
The house stands as a memorial to the victims of two tragic periods in 20th century Hungarian history: Arrow Cross and communist terror. Employing the latest multimedia techniques, the exhibition reveals the horors of the two system.
