Victor Vasarely Múzeum

The Victor Vasarely Museum in Pécs houses a comprehensive collection of optical artworks including graphics, paintings, and sculptures displayed across multiple gallery spaces. The works are arranged throughout a historic building in the city center.

The museum opened in 1976 after Vasarely donated several hundred of his artworks to his hometown. This gift included prints, tapestries, and other artistic creations that form the core of the collection today.

The museum displays Vasarely's journey from geometric design to optical art that plays with how we see. His works show how patterns and colors can trick the eye and create movement.

It is easier to visit from Tuesday to Sunday when the museum is open, with hours starting in the morning. Wear comfortable shoes as the museum spans multiple levels including underground areas.

The museum extends below the streets and uses underground space for additional exhibitions that give a distinctive feel. This subterranean area was once connected to the region's mining heritage and adds to the experience of moving through different levels.
