Explore Budapest’s Light Art Museum, a former market filled with light installations, optical illusions, new media art, and family-friendly surprises.

“Some exhibitions were really good while others were mediocre at best. I am not the type to appreciate this type of art but honestly I could not see the point of a few metal lines hanging out the wall with green and blue colour on them representing something vague as the "emptiness of the universe". Worth a visit, but don't get your hopes too high”

9.Cat Museum Budapest Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 108 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $13

Review of Cat Museum Budapest: interactive cat art, friendly resident cats, hot drink, quiz, practical tips, price, timing, and who should go.

“I absolutely loved my visit! I’m honestly baffled by some of the negative reviews here. The exhibition was beautiful and the cats were a delight—most of them were visible and active during my time there. I even got to play with Simba, who was especially charming! What really stood out to me was the patience of the staff. I noticed that some visitors needed frequent reminders about the rules (which are clearly in place for the cats' wellbeing). It can’t be easy managing so many different people. The complimentary drink was a lovely touch—it’s clearly mentioned on signs throughout the museum, so I don’t understand how people could miss it.…”
