Ludwig Museum, Art museum in District IX, Budapest, Hungary
The Ludwig Museum is an art museum in Budapest District IX that displays contemporary artworks from around the world across multiple exhibition spaces within a modern building. The complex sits near the Danube River and provides space for rotating collections and special exhibitions.
The museum was founded in 1989 after Peter and Irene Ludwig donated their significant private art collection. This gift made Budapest an important center for contemporary art in Eastern Europe.
The museum displays works exploring current artistic trends such as digital art and NFTs. These exhibitions show how artists today use technology to create new forms of expression.
Access to the site is straightforward, and the different exhibition areas are well connected. A mobile app called MyLUMU offers additional information and features for your visit if you choose to use it.
The museum's lobby features site-specific art installations created specially for the architecture of the space. These temporary or permanent works alter how visitors experience the entrance area and create an immediate connection between art and architecture.
