The Municipal Gallery, part of the Budapest History Museum, houses a nationally significant collection of fine arts comprising approximately 40,000 pieces. It is located in the Kiscell Museum building, but due to the absence of a permanent exhibition, its works are only occasionally on display. This gap is filled by the temporary exhibition titled The Capital's Gallery – Works and Stories, which showcases a selection of nearly 150 works, spanning from the birth of Hungarian modernism to the present day. The exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of Hungarian art history from the late 19th century to contemporary times, but this is just one of the narratives presented by the show.

 

More than 100 artists are featured, nearly one-third of whom are women. Among the most notable names are Ferenczy Károly, Rippl-Rónai József, Lesznai Anna, Vaszary János, Bortnyik Sándor, Ferenczy Noémi, Reigl Judit, Vera Molnar, Ország Lili, Ladik Katalin, Lakner László, Maurer Dóra, Drozdik Orshi, Chilf Mária, Eperjesi Ágnes, and Szíj Kamilla.
