Imre Varga Collection

In Óbuda, the Imre Varga Collection brings together work by the Hungarian sculptor, painter, designer and graphic artist. See full-size sculptures alongside models for public monuments, paintings and commissioned medals. Some works connect with familiar sights across Budapest, including the Holocaust Memorial and the Raoul Wallenberg Monument. The collection is compact, so it fits a short art stop, and its garden adds an outdoor pause on a sunny day. Ask the gallery staff about the pieces if you want more context as you look around.

Sculptures and works on paper

Imre Varga worked across sculpture, painting, design and graphic art. Sculpture is the focus of the collection, with full-size works and models for large public monuments. Paintings and commissioned medals add other dimensions to his practice.

The models give you a closer look at works made for public spaces. Varga’s sculptures can be seen around Budapest, including the Holocaust Memorial and the Raoul Wallenberg Monument. Seeing related works together helps connect the museum collection with pieces encountered elsewhere in the city.

A short visit in Óbuda

The collection is in Óbuda and is compact enough for a relatively quick visit. Gallery staff can share information about the exhibition, so take the opportunity to ask about a work that catches your attention.

There is a garden around the museum, which is especially pleasant to explore on a sunny day. For a wider art and history itinerary in the area, the Vasarely Gallery and Aquincum are nearby options to combine with the visit.
