About Keresztény Múzeum
The Keresztény Múzeum occupies rooms of the primatial palace in Esztergom, in the Víziváros area. The address is below the basilica hill, near the river. This location makes the visit a natural continuation of a tour of the city's religious complex.
The collection brings together painting and sculpture related to the Christian tradition, with notable medieval pieces and works from different European schools. The museum allows close-up viewing of works, in contrast to the architectural and monumental experience of the basilica.
Allow time to focus on the galleries rather than treating the collection as a quick annex to the church. The two visits are in different buildings, and the transfer involves descending the hill. Check opening days when planning a short trip from Budapest.
