Located at Kiscelli utca 108 in the green district of Óbuda, the Kiscelli Museum occupies the magnificent former monastery and baroque church from the 18th century transformed into a castle by entrepreneur Miksa Schmidt in 1910. Today it is part of the Budapest History Museum and combines urban history, modern art, and evocative exhibition spaces such as the ruined church. The museum offers a permanent collection dedicated to the modern history of Budapest (after 1686), with over 200,000 photographs, maps, historical furniture, shop signs, printing equipment, silverware, and posters.On the first floor, the Municipal Gallery exhibits works by famous Hungarian artists of the 20th century such as Rippl‑Rónai, Tihanyi, Csók, and Czóbel. The ruined church, with rough walls and an evocative setting, is used for contemporary exhibitions, performances, and multimedia installations.
