Ferenczy Museum

The Ferenczy Museum is an art museum in central Szentendre housing paintings, sculptures, and decorative works by Hungarian artists across multiple exhibition halls. The collection spreads through several spaces around the main square, presenting works primarily from the 20th century.

The museum was founded in 1951 and grew from archaeological exhibitions of Roman camp findings in the 1930s supervised by Dr. Lajos Nagy. The collection later expanded to include artworks and became a center for works by local artists.

The museum displays works by the Ferenczy family, whose members like Károly Ferenczy and his children Béni and Noémi shaped Hungarian artistic expression. Their pieces reflect how local artists translated their time and ideas into painting, sculpture, and craft.

The museum sits quietly near the main square and is easy to reach on foot, with wheelchair access in the exhibition areas. It is wise to set aside several hours to view the different collections at a relaxed pace.

The collection contains tens of thousands of artworks, only some of which are on display at any given time due to space limitations. Visitors returning at different times during a stay in Szentendre may see the exhibitions shift and change.
