Vasarely Museum
The simple neo-classical dwelling situated diagonally opposite the Zsolnay Museum is where the artist Victor Vasarely was born in 1908. He spent much of his life in France, but bequeathed to his home town some 150 paintings and drawings, which provide an interesting insight into the work of this founder of the Op-Art school.
