The large-scale retrospective to mark the 120th anniversary of the birth of Victor Vasarely offers an exhaustive overview of an oeuvre that set in motion one of the most far-reaching revolutions in twentieth-century visual thinking. The work of Victor Vasarely played a defining role in the emergence of geometrical abstraction and Op art following the Second World War, and continues to inform attitudes to visual culture to this day.
In the spring of 2026, the House of Music Hungary and World of Freddie will present, for the first time, the personal story of Freddie Mercury as you have never seen it before!
The exhibition titled VASARELY DON’T GO HOME! explores questions of illusion, construction and seriality through the neo-avant-garde art of the 1960s and 1970s, providing a new take on the parallel endeavours of Victor Vasarely and his contemporaries. The focal points are the concepts of ‘construction’, ‘illusion’ and the ‘grid’, which define the questions of the era that extend beyond the genre of painting. The photo-based works and experimental films included in the exhibition explore how these phenomena emerge at the limits of the perception and interpretation of reality.

The new indoor exhibition space with a floor area of about one hectare welcomes visitors with a genuine tropical and subtropical environment, lush vegetation and fascinating animals, including species that have not been seen by the public for generations. Visitors are also introduced to some fascinating palaeontological attractions: around thirty life-sized prehistoric reptiles can be viewed here.
