Vaszary Gallery
About This Museum
People often wander into the Vaszary Gallery seeking a quiet moment away from the bustle, but they quickly find themselves captivated by something more. It's a place that feels deeply personal, where the vibrant colors and bold lines of Hungarian Modernism seem to speak directly to you. I always get lost in János Vaszary's own work, especially his later, almost dreamlike paintings that play with light and shadow. Stepping back outside, you carry with you a refreshed perspective, a little jolt of creative energy from early 20th-century Hungary.
Collection Highlights
The heart of the collection is, of course, the namesake artist himself—János Vaszary. You can trace his entire journey here, from his elegant Art Nouveau posters to his powerful, symbolist biblical scenes and those wonderfully bright Fauvist landscapes. Beyond his work, you'll find compelling pieces by other Hungarian greats like Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry and József Rippl-Rónai.
Visitor Information
Tucked away on Nagy Imre Square in Kaposvár, it's one of those perfectly sized galleries where you can see everything without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. It’s the kind of spot you can pop into for an inspiring hour or so.
Architecture & Building
The gallery is housed in a handsome, historic townhouse that gives it an intimate, almost residential feel—it's like stepping into a grand home dedicated entirely to art.
