Déri Museum, Art and history museum in Debrecen, Hungary
The Déri Museum is an art museum in Debrecen holding works by various artists, weapons from multiple periods, and historical objects from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The collections show how people in different regions and times lived.
The museum was founded in the early 20th century and is based on the collections of Frigyes Déri, a collector with broad interests. His passion for art and objects from different cultures shaped the character of this institution.
The three paintings of Mihály Munkácsy's Christ Cycle are displayed here, created between 1882 and 1896. They show different moments from the passion narrative and draw visitors who engage with this important work of Hungarian painting.
The museum is located in central Debrecen and is open from Tuesday through Sunday with breaks during the day. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the different sections, as there is much to see.
The collection includes an extensive selection of Japanese weapons from the Edo period, among the most significant of their kind in Hungary. Swords and armor display the craftsmanship and warrior code of that distant era.
