Csontváry Museum
Csontváry Múzeum
Houses large oil paintings by Hungarian Expressionist painter Csontváry, including his masterpiece “The Lonely Cedar.”
Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar is one of Hungary's most legendary painters. He received little recognition in his lifetime, and his works, with their intense colors, border on the visionary. The museum holds most of his important works, including large oil paintings such as “The Lonely Cedar,” “Baalbek” and “Ruins of the Greek Theatre at Taormina.” Seeing them in a small space is striking. Located between the cathedral and Széchenyi Square, it can be visited along with the church district. Admission is about 2,000 forints.
