Museums in Budapest
There are over 60 museums and galleries in Budapest documenting practically all aspect of Hungary's lengthy history, safe-keeping its treasures and serving as entertainment for the culturally thirsty. The repertoire of history, ethnography, music, decorative arts, and specialist museums host both internationally significant collections as well as smaller ones eliciting mostly local interest.

The next two are located on the picturesque Hero's Square: The Museum of Fine Arts famous for having the best collection of Spanish art outside of Span and the Art Gallery with exciting temporary contemporary exhibitions.
