Victor Vasarely Museum — Attraction in Pécsi járás

Visited this museum (20.02.25) after being introduced to Victor Vasarely’s work in a County Art teacher’s training session… by luck, it just so happens I was visiting Budapest shortly afterwards, so got to see his wonderful artwork up close. What a wonderful gallery (museum). Fairly modest in size but packed with so many beautiful paintings, sketches and collages of Vasarely’s work, from his flat geometric work to his incredible op art. The colours, the precision and the patience are truly awe-inspiring. The staff were helpful and friendly as the ambiance was calm and serene. Other modern artists were also featured which complemented the style of Vasarely so well and you can see his clear influence. The curator asked where I came from (England) and commented on the fact they only seem to get French or English other than Hungarians… so I just want to spread the word further… to all nationalities, if you are in Budapest , love abstract geometric art and op art the Victor Vasarely Museum is the...

It presents an extensive collection of his works, known for their geometric shapes and optical effects. The museum itself is very exciting if you enjoy this type of art. I took many pictures and really liked it. Depending on how busy it is, you might have the rooms to yourself. It was quiet when I visited, but there was a small line at the ticket counter when I left. I was there around 4:30 PM and spent about 30 to 45 minutes in the museum. A fascinating visit for those interested in modern art and...

Fantastic collection on abstract and space/shape explorer Victor Vasarely, lover of optical illusions, colour explorations and textile craft. Museum is nicely planned with a sort of chronological order so to appreciate the evolution in his vision. It doesn't overwhelm you with countless rooms, and you can focus on just what's necessary on every wall. If you enjoy themes of colour, shape and abstract scenery and reflect on their nature, this is a place for you to explore. There's a small shop where you can buy postcards, magnets, small crafts and some more. Staff is friendly...
