This museum located inside the former home of Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly, a tribute to one of the most important workshops of Hungarian music history, was inhabited by the composer until his death in 1916, and has been open to visitors ever since 1990. Kodaly is famous for his studies on Hungarian folk music with Bela Bartok, another famous Hungarian composer, whom he travelled the country with, making some 16,000 recordings (on wax cylinders) of Hungarian folk music.It is located along the grand Andrássy Avenue, just after the Kodaly Circus named after him, easily recognizable from the commemorative plaque with his name inscripted on it on the outer wall. It remains largely unaltered with his furniture and personal belongings, as well as folk objects and manuscripts.
The museum is open from 10am to 4pm on Wednesdays, 10am to 6pm from Thursday to Saturday, and from 10am to 2pm on Sundays.
