On 13 June 2026 at 7:00 PM, the Kodály Centre will host the premiere of Vasarely – Symphony of Geometry, a new musical work by Áron Sebestyén, recipient of the Artisjus and Fonogram Awards.

The Visual Arts Centre at the m21 Gallery in Zsolnay Quarter presents contemporary fine art works that reflect on Vasarely's legacy and 21st-century visual culture through a reinterpretation of op-art. Alongside the contemporary works, the exhibition also features rarely seen and lesser-known pieces by Victor Vasarely.

Claire Vasarely, the French artist of Hungarian origin, is being presented for the first time in Hungary in a solo exhibition dedicated to her oeuvre. The exhibition opening on 6 June at the JPM Museum Gallery in Pécs enters into a unique dialogue with the permanent display of the nearby JPM Vasarely Museum: the art of the couple, Victor and Claire Vasarely, can be discovered within a few hundred metres of each other, in a complementary way – even with a discounted joint ticket.

The Vasarely Museum in Pécs turns half a century – join us on 6 June to celebrate!

As part of the renewed JPM Vasarely Museum’s anniversary season, Pierre Vasarely — the grandson of Victor Vasarely and patron of the 2026 jubilee year — will hold a special English-language guided tour through the museum’s newly reimagined exhibition spaces.

The 50-year-old JPM Vasarely Museum is undergoing renovations, and during this time, until March 22, 2026, Victor Vasarely’s works can be viewed approximately 200 meters from the exhibition venue, in the large temporary exhibition hall of the JPM Modern Hungarian Art Gallery, presented in a new concept and featuring numerous works from the collection of hundreds of pieces that were not previously included in the permanent exhibition.

The official logo for the Vasarely 2026 Pécs anniversary year has been unveiled, defining the visual identity of this year’s commemorative event.

At the initiative of the Janus Pannonius Museum, the cultural programs for 2026 will be organized as a unified city-wide season under the title “Vasarely 2026 – Pécs.”

On the day of Hungarian Culture, Pécs launched the Vasarely 2026 – Pécs anniversary season. In 2026, the city will celebrate a double anniversary: it will mark 50 years since the opening of the JPM Vasarely Museum, which remains one of the most important collections of Hungarian and international Op Art to this day, as well as the 120th anniversary of the birth in Pécs of Victor Vasarely, one of the most influential figures in modern visual art.

The newly reimagined JPM Vasarely Museum has barely opened its doors, and the next exciting stop of the jubilee season is already here.
