The year 2026 marks a unique triple anniversary: the 120th anniversary of Victor Vasarely’s birth, the 50th anniversary of the Fondation Vasarely in Aix-en-Provence, and the 50th anniversary of the Vasarely Museum in Pécs. In this celebratory season, Pierre Vasarely returns to his grandfather’s hometown to honour not only the artistic legacy of the father of Op Art, but also the enduring human connections between Pécs and Aix-en-Provence.

VASARELY – SYMPHONY OF GEOMETRY

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.

Vasarely 120 – Contemporary Op-Art Reflections

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 Independent Artist

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.
