Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts, Asian art museum on Andrássy Avenue, Budapest, Hungary
The Ferenc Hopp Museum of Asiatic Arts is an art museum on Andrassy Avenue that displays around 30,000 objects from China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia. The spaces present both large collection areas and specialized sections for different artistic media and geographic regions of origin.
Ferenc Hopp, a Hungarian collector, traveled extensively through Asia and founded this institution in 1919 to share his gathered treasures with the public. The museum became a lasting testament to his passion for Asian art during a time when such collections were rare in Europe.
The museum presents rotating exhibitions of different Asian art forms, from ancient sculptures to traditional textiles and decorative objects. You can explore how these works were used and valued in their original societies and gain insight into the artistic traditions they represent.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 to 18:00 and features both exhibition rooms and a specialized library dedicated to Asian arts. It helps to check in advance if special exhibitions or guided tours are happening to plan your visit accordingly.
The museum grounds feature an oriental garden incorporating traditional Asian landscaping elements and serving as an outdoor exhibition space. This calm setting provides a break from the indoor collections and allows visitors to experience authentic garden design.
