Csontváry Museum

Csontváry Museum is a great place to visit while in Pécs. They had two types of tours at the time I visited which was in July 2020. The paintings and archeological pieces tour. I went for the painting tour which cost 1500 huf for an adult and 800 forint for kids below 13. The archeological tour cost 1000 huf for adults and 500 for children. If you would like to take some picture shots, they will charge you 300 huf.

Great art and a quiet museum. You should sit down and admire the large paintings from afar.

it is a must see if you're in Pécs, even younger kids (6-9) will be amazed by the size of some of the paintings (they are amazing regardless of their size of course)

Spent about an hour here. There is not a lot to see. Some very very large murals, colourful and interesting pictures by a single artist. He has a mostly colourful almost gaudily vivid style in many of his paintings with a naive distorted scale and perspective in many of them reminiscent of other more famous painters of the same era. Csontváry was a mostly self taught Artist who travelled outside Hungary extensively and was unappreciated and dismissed by Hungarians until 30 or so years after his death. An interesting scale replica of the Hungarian Crown is in the stairwell and interesting to see, especially if you have seen the original in the parliament. As a tourist it was affordable but I expect for locals it is quite pricey.

What to say - my favourite painter's works.
