K	Káló András on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The bigest colection of paitings from the Italian reneszánsz colection
A	Ahmet Burcin Yereli on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A place must see.
A	Attila Attila on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very-very precious creations of art, but prepare for at least a 30-60 minute-load of preaching.
B	BlackR65 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great museum with amazing christian painting from different eras. Sadly you have to pay to make photos :(
T	Tomas Cvrcek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We were almost alone there. Totally not crowded. The special thing about this museum is that it mostly does not hold the paintings of the absolute most famous painters but rather those who were active around Central Europe and therefore off the beaten path. They do have a few famous masterpieces but IMHO the main attraction is seeing those second league painters and how they were trying to catch up with the leading painters of their times. I really enjoyed my visit.
M	Michel Singer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice collection of gold background fourteenth century paintings, very interesting and éducative, but some of them are very poorly restaured. But worth seeing.
G	Gyorgy Valyi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Christian Museum was founded by archbishop János Simor (1813–1891) in 1875 established the public museum by opening his private collection to all visitors. Christian Museum (Hungarian: Keresztény Múzeum) is the largest ecclesiastical collection in Hungary; it conserves European and Hungarian works of art from the period between the 13th and 19th centuries. The extensive collections of Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, German and Austrian paintings make this museum the third most important picture gallery in Hungary. Many works of art come from the territory of present-day Slovakia in which area part of the archdiocese of Esztergom lay at the time of the formation of the collection (the 1870s). Besides late medieval and Renaissance works of art — including the Calvary Altarpiece by Thomas of Coloswar, the Lord's Coffin from Garamszentbenedek, and the Passion scenes by Master MS — the baroque and modern collections, the collection of the decorative arts, and the collection of prints and drawings are significant. The museum is well kept, it has toilet for visitors.
O	Oleg Naumov on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Kereszteny Muzeum or Christian Museum is excellent museum of Hungarian medieval fine arts of XIV-XVI centuries. You are also going to find art of XVII-XIX centuries too. You need to buy a ticket to get in. It is highly recommended to visit that museum while you are in Esztergom. But take into consideration that museum is closed since December 1 till next spring. Esztergom, Hungary ??. November 6, 2021.
