Hungarian National Gallery

The Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galeria) in Budapest houses various historical art treasures, including stonework, sculptures, and altars from the medieval and gothic periods.

The Hungarian National Gallery, located within Buda Castle, also houses the Habsburg Palatinal Crypt (Nadori kripta), the burial site of the Hungarian line of the Habsburg Dynasty. It should be noted that the crypt is only accessible by prior arrangement and is located on the ground level of Building C.

The Hungarian Primary Gallery, housed in multiple parts of Buda Castle, was founded in 1957 as the country's national art museum. The goal of building the museum was to show Hungarian art from the settlement of the Magyars in the 10th century through the medieval times to the current day.

The collection has around 6000 paintings and 2100 sculptures, as well as 3100 medals, 11,000 sketches, and 5000 prints.

Today, visitors and locals alike visit the gallery to learn about Hungarian art and history. There is a rolling show schedule as well as permanent displays with paintings by great artists such as Cezanne, Pissarro, and Monet.
