The museum is a social history of textile production in Hungary, particularly with the innovative and entrepreneurial Goldberger family. It illustrates the process of wax print indigo dyeing and goes on to show how the technology changed from the 1800s to the 1990s, including the devastating impact of the 2nd world war. They have activities for children and have presented information in an engaging way. This would be of particular interest to anyone drawn to textiles and also machine production. A five star experience.

Fascinating museum showing the op art of Vasarely. I'll be honest and admit I had not heard of him but saw this in a Lonely Planet guide book on Budapest. It was terrific value and a bargain, really. There are some other works in addition to Vasarely but the main attraction are the mind bending op art works he produced. It's a lovely little museum and an insight into something I knew nothing of but will definately find out more. You will find yourself staring at some of these images, your mind not quite beleiving what you are seeing.

Imre Varga created the moving sculptures in the Doheny Synagogue commemorating the Jewish lives lost during WWII in Hungary. He is not Jewish, and yet was commissioned to do these pieces, no doubt, because of his evocative works about humanity and the sacredness of life. His many sculptures of his father feature his loss of limbs after serving in the war, with his medals of honor affixed to his chest with nails, reminiscent of Jesus on the cross, conveying the hypocrisy and the sacrifices of war. We found this museum moving and beautiful, as each piece is deeply thoughtful and moving. Because we began our trip with the Doheny synagogue and ended it with the Imre Varga Museum, we felt it to be an extra magical, bookended trip. Don't hesitate to ask the museum director to explain some of the pieces, especially the sculpture of the woman on horseback in the inner courtyard.... a very special story awaits you. We also visited the Vasarely Museum nearby (wonderful).

The Kiscelli Museum is one of the hidden treasures of Obuda located in a former baroque monastery and church on the top of a hill. It manages a collection related to urban history and fine arts of Budapest. In its permanent exhibitions you can find fabulous furniture, trade signs, plans and silver artefacts, modern and contemporary paintings and sculpures. While in the temporary ones you can see a selection of history of photography, sports and fashion as well. The building ensemble is surrounded by a nice park and hiking trails, so it is a good destination for excursions as well.

I had a very nice experience at the Kiscelli Museum. It is a charming building constructed around the remnant of a church. I visited the exhibition "Design without borders", and everything was beautifully showcased. I saw another temporary exhibition on feminist artists, and the permanent collection of Hungarian artifacts and street signs. Consider it if you want a cultural day and a change of atmosphere
