The Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art, known in Hungarian as the Ludwig Múzeum, is a museum of modern and contemporary art in Budapest. It is located at Komor Marcell utca 1, in the 9th district of the city, and forms part of the Palace of Arts complex on the Danube embankment.
What to expect
The museum presents work by international and Hungarian artists from the 1960s onwards, which makes it a good place to see how art has developed over the decades since then. Its collection and exhibitions cover a wide range of media, so visitors with different tastes in contemporary art are likely to find something of interest.
As the country's principal museum devoted to contemporary art, it offers a focused visit for anyone wanting to look beyond the classical and historical collections that dominate much of the city's cultural life.
