Meet Hungary

Hungary is increasingly popular among business travellers. Year by year statistical data prove that Budapest is one of the most attractive MICE tourism destinations of Europe and the world but there is a growing demand also for destinations outside the capital city. Besides being an increasingly favoured convention venue, Hungary offers tremendous opportunities for recreation and active leisure time programmes for business travellers. Our cultural assets, health spas, excellent gastronomy and wines ensure that visitors will gain remarkable experiences during the leisure programmes organised after the meetings and conferences. The outstanding Hungarian achievements in the field of science, innovation, sport and arts are magnets attracting specialist conferences, congresses and large-scale events to Budapest. In addition, Hungary offers indoor and outdoor incentive and recreational programmes all through the year that provide valuable experiences not only for the conference guests but also for those accompanying them.

Hungarian National Gallery
Hungarian National Gallery
Museum
One of the most iconic architectural feature of Budapest, the building of the National Gallery is located in the Buda Castle District. The idea of a completely individual museum dedicated to fine art was conceived in the aftermath of the Revolution of 1956. As a result of this, the museum found its home in the domed building in the Castle, the highest point of which yields a spectacular panorama to the whole city. Recently in 2012, the National Gallery and the National Museum of Fine Arts united their exceptionally rich collections in one singe institution. After the restructuring of their collections together with the reopening of the Museum of Fine Arts, the Hungarian and international artworks after 1800 can be seen in the National Gallery within the reorganized permanent exhibitions in the National Gallery, with pieces from such exceptional artists, as Mihály Munkácsy, Pál Szinyei Merse, Miklós Barabás or Monet and Gauguin. The collection presenting Hungarian fine arts ranges from the times of the oundation of the state to the most recent pieces of contemporary art. In 1975 the Museum relocated to the buildings of Buda Castle, where its first exhibition opened in the autumn of the same year. Beyond its outstanding permanent exhibitions, the National Gallery presents the most exceptional national and international artworks to its visitors every year.

Museum of Fine Arts
Museum of Fine Arts
Museum
By the power of its location, architecture and exceptional collection, the Hungarian National Museum of Fine Arts is a unique institution among the Hungarian museum scene. Its neoclassical and neorenasissance building, which received the Europa Nostra Prize for its reconstrcuction, is part of the world heritage. Its collection was established in 1906 and gives home to some of the most exceptional artefacts of national and international art. The collection of the Museum of Fine Arts has represented itself many times on individual exhibitions around the globe as well as hosted grand scale exhibitions itself. It is therefore an integrated player in the international art world. It is by no means accidental therefore, that it is the most famous and most visited museum of Hungary. As opposed to most of the national collections in Europe, it’s the origin of its foundational material was not a royal collection. The source of its material was the international painting, sculpture, graphics and old curiosity collection of the Hungarian National Museum as well as the stately purchase of the European paintings, drawings and engravings from the Esterházy Collection in 1871. In the course of the last century, the domain and size of the collection has not only grown, but modified as well. Due to the conscious restructuring program, new individual exhibition units emerged. The bulk of the ancient, archaeological material is part of the Ancient Egypt and Classical Antiquity Exhibition. The Hungarian Collection contains materials such as the ecclesiastical art and castle culture from the 17th century as well as the internationally renowned masterpieces of Jakab Bodgány and Ádám Mányoki. The international exhibitions from the period between 1250 and 1600 holds representative works from Lucas Cranach, Raphael, Titian and El Greco. Apart from paintings, the picture gallery contains sculptures, engravings and pieces of applied art, making it possible for the viewer to study cultural connections as well. In the Old Sculpture Collection one finds masterpieces of European sculpture from the period between 1350 and 1800.
