Ámos and Anna Múzeum

Frommer's Review

This exceptional museum was the former home of artist couple Imre Ámos and Margit Anna, whose work represents the beginning of expressionist painting in Hungary. Opened after Anna's death in 1991, the collection is Szentendre's best-kept secret. Particularly engaging are the drawings Ámos did between periods of forced labor on the Russian front, where he eventually died of typhus. On a lighter note are Anna's wonderful puppets. Ámos' art seems influenced by Chagall, whereas Anna's work invokes Miró and Klee.

Outside the museum, in the courtyard, is Anna's gravesite, around which visitors have left wishing stones from the garden as tokens of respect.
