József Egry Memorial Museum

In the centre of Badacsony, near the lakeshore and the pier, stands the former villa of the painter József Egry, which once served both as his home and studio. Known as the “painter of Lake Balaton,” Egry was deeply devoted to the lake and captured its endless water surface, misty lights, and views towards Fonyód from countless perspectives and at almost every time of day. His style, vision, and art are truly unique. 

Since 1973, the building has operated as a memorial museum, where visitors can see a rich selection of his major works and learn about his life. The exhibition can be visited with an admission ticket during the summer season, typically from June to September, usually from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 17:00.
