Ferenc Hopp died on September 9th, 1919 in his cottage on Andrássy Street. In his last will, he left several valuables to people of the city and founded the museum. The collection was eventually housed and exhibited in Hopp's villa in Andrássy Street. Since 1923 the villa has been operating as a museum; at the time of its foundation it was and it still remains the sole museum of Oriental arts in Hungary.

From the beginning of 1937, the Hungarian ultra-right party, the Arrow Cross Party, rented more and more space in the house. In 1940 they took possession of the whole building and made it their headquarters. The party´s leader, Ferenc Szálasi named the building "The House of Loyalty". In the autumn of 1944, when the Hungarian Nazis came to power, the basement was used as a prison.

As Budapest rid itself of German rule and was occupied by the Soviets, the communist-led Political Police claimed the house in February 1945, and created a prison labyrinth by joining the cellars of the block. The State Security Police possessed the building until 1956. After they moved out the house was renovated, erasing all traces of its past. Andrassy 60 then became the headquarters of several firms and offices. In the 1970´s, the basement where hundreds, perhaps thousands of people were tortured, was used as a club for young communists.

In December 2000 "The Public Foundation for the Research of Central and East European History and Society " purchased the building with the aim of establishing a museum in order to present these two bloody periods of Hungarian history. Dr. Mária Schmidt is the Director-General of the House of Terror Museum, which was completed in February 2002.

Daily 11-19 h, Mondays closed

Exhibition space for 20th century Hungarian art.

The aim of the Ernst Museum is to be a memorial to Lajos Ernst, its founder, not just in name but also in the traditions he established.
Today, without a permanent collection, the institute's thinking and objectives are twofold.
On the one hand it wishes to organize exhibitions, based on research into art history, which show the richness of modern Hungarian art and architecture from new viewpoints and also outstanding but lesser known oevres and collections. It would like to complement the exhibitions with other art events or auctions, which can raise the value of certain works, precisely because of the context of art history in which they are exhibited.
Acting within the structure of the independent public service company, the Dorottya Gallery will continue to show the latest contemporary Hungarian visual arts.
A new feature will be that the works exhibited at both places will occasionally be for sale.
