Fifty years ago, the Vasarely Museum opened its doors in Pécs — a place that showed generations of visitors that art can be play, a thought experiment, and a gateway to a new world all at once. On 6 June, we celebrate those fifty years together: the newly reimagined museum, the legacy of Victor and Claire Vasarely, and the intellectual adventure that made Pécs one of Hungary’s most important centres of modern art.
On 6 June, Museum Street transforms into a birthday celebration: where past meets present, op-art meets music, and exhibitions meet the spirit of a summer picnic. The courtyard of the Vasarely Museum and the JPM Museum Gallery across the street will be a space for encounters, creativity and celebration throughout the afternoon and evening.
