Arriving at the Ludwig Museum I was incredibly excited to see the contemporary pieces housed in this beautiful complex, only to discover the entire permanent collection was closed for renovations, leaving two Hungarian artists to display their works. While the temporary exhibits were thought provoking, I found them lacking a wow factor or much to keep us there more than... More

Modern, spacious, contemporary - I visited on the Museums' Night and our guide for that night was Kornél Mundruczó, a talented Hungarian director. His comments really added some extra to the great expo.

I was astonished when I was here last weekend and I learnt that a yearly pass for a family of 6(!) costs 35€ or so. The exhibitions change quickly, and at the same time there is at least 2 you can choose from. If you bring small kids, they get special luggage: tasks they are to solve, finding answers in... More

We enjoyed our stroll through the museum and as Christians particularly enjoyed the Biblically themed paintings. We found the audio guide to be lacking, a better use would be to save your money for the museum shop at the end as there are some great things available for purchase. Overall it was a great experience and would recommend it to... More

Two art teachers on a long weekend discovered the amazing work of Laszilo Lanker. Do not be put off by his later work but the 1960's and 70's handling of media has to be admired. Ignore the museum write up, it contains the usual verbage. Avoid the works on their web site apart from "Rembrandt" and the "Rose". Worth seeing... More
