Budapest - Hungarian National Gallery

(Local Name: Magyar Nemzeti Galéria) The Hungarian National Gallery (Magyar Nemzeti Galéria) is housed in the main wing of the castle facing the Danube. A wide cross-section of Hungarian sculpture and painting is on display, ranging from the time of the Magyar invasion through the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods to the richly productive 19th and 20th centuries. The sculptures and panel paintings from the medieval and Renaissance periods are of particular interest, as are the Late Baroque works and 19th C paintings and sculptures by Bálint Kiss, Mór Than, László Pál, Mihály Munkácsy, Alajos Stróbl and György Zala.

Also very worthy of study are pictures painted in the 20th C, including works by Béla Czóbel, József Egry and József Rippl-Rónai.
