The museum occupies the quite small but pretty house of its founder, the East Asian expert Ferenc Hopp (1833-1919). The collection comprises mainly lacquer-work, paintings, carpets, porcelain, jewelry and book illustrations. Hopp also left to the museum a rich collection of Indian objets d'art from various eras. A few selected sculptures adorn the museum garden. The Chinese and Japanese collection is now displayed in the China Museum.

The Museum of the Hungarian Post Office (Posta Múzeum; No. 3) is housed in an unusual palace which was designed in 1886 by G. Czigler for the entrepreneur Saxlehner. The carefully renovated stairwell is embellished by some fine ceiling-paintings by K. Lotz. As well as interesting documents concerning the development of the Hungarian post-office system the postal history collection contains some original technical apparatus, including the telephone used by the Habsburg Emperor Franz Joseph I and a transmitter of 1919.

Kodály körönd, a beautifully laid-out circular open space, is named after the great Hungarian composer Kodály. This square is bounded by statues of Hungarian freedom fighters.

The former residence of Zoltán Kodály at No. 89 is now a museum and open to the public. Opposite stands a neat Neo-Renaissance palace designed by G. Pertschacher.
