Faculty students and teachers can visit exhibitions at the Modern Hungarian Gallery for free

 

From 2026 on, students and lecturers of the University of Pécs, Faculty of Music and Visual Arts participating in art programs can visit the permanent and temporary exhibitions of the JPM Modern Hungarian Gallery (Modern Magyar Képtár) free of charge. The JPM Modern Hungarian Gallery houses one of the most significant collections of Hungarian fine arts, offering a comprehensive cross-section of outstanding works from 20th-century Hungarian art in its broadest sense. The carefully curated collection, featuring numerous key works, presents the artistic development and diversity of the past century. The chronological arc of the collection begins from the last decades of the 19th century, spanning from the paintings of László Mednyánszky and József Rippl-Rónai, through Lajos Gulácsy's surrealistic world and the avant-garde endeavors of the Group of Eight artists, to the outstanding works of later decades. The internationally renowned Hungarian artists of the mid-20th century, such as sculptor Amerigo Tot or architect-designer Marcel Breuer, also have their place in the exhibition. The display leads visitors all the way to today's outstanding creators, among whom one of the most important is a Pécs artist, Ilona Keserü. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the gallery's two temporary exhibition spaces regularly host major retrospective and smaller chamber exhibitions.

A signed student certificate or a teacher's certificate of employment needed for free tickets can be requested at the Registrar's Office or the head of each departments.
