The Christian Museum was founded by archbishop János Simor (1813–1891) in 1875 established the public museum by opening his private collection to all visitors. Christian Museum (Hungarian: Keresztény Múzeum) is the largest ecclesiastical collection in Hungary; it conserves European and Hungarian works of art from the period between the 13th and 19th centuries. The extensive collections of Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, German and Austrian paintings make this museum the third most important picture gallery in Hungary. Many works of art come from the territory of present-day Slovakia in which area part of the archdiocese of Esztergom lay at the time of the formation of the collection (the 1870s). Besides late medieval and Renaissance works of art — including the Calvary Altarpiece by Thomas of Coloswar, the Lord's Coffin from Garamszentbenedek, and the Passion scenes by Master MS — the baroque and modern collections, the collection of the decorative arts, and the collection of prints and drawings are significant. The museum is well kept, it has toilet for visitors.

Unique place to visit

We were almost alone there. Totally not crowded. The special thing about this museum is that it mostly does not hold the paintings of the absolute most famous painters but rather those who were active around Central Europe and therefore off the beaten path. They do have a few famous masterpieces but IMHO the main attraction is seeing those second league painters and how they were trying to catch up with the leading painters of their times. I really enjoyed my visit.

Very-very precious creations of art, but prepare for at least a 30-60 minute-load of preaching.

A veszélyhelyzet visszavonásáig a múzeum sajnos nem látogatható.
