Déri Museum

I don't know why but I imagined this museum would be a little below par...how wrong was I?! It's a brilliant little museum! The exhibits are really well displayed and offer good descriptions that are not too long so they don't become laborious to read and follow. Adult entrance fee was 2800HUF which is approximately €7.50. Well worth it for a few hours spent here

This is the "must see" museum if you're visiting this city. No only a beautiful building but an interesting assembly of both works of art and ancient cultural artifacts. This place exists thanks to the beneficence of Frigyes Deri who in 1920 donated his lifelong collection to the State.
The museum exhibits his particular interest of Egyptian, Samuri and 15th to 18th Century Christian European artefacts. The paintings are organised into groups reflecting common characteristics; Portraits, Landscapes, Still Life.
I found the supplementary exhibition regarding Hungarian ancient beliefs concerning death, burial and the afterlife particularly interesting. It's displayed in a darkened room with gentle mystic music playing in the background.
Perhaps the good weather had deterred people from spending time inside. It was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
Lovely exhibition and fantastic value at 900 huf for pensioner.

I am from USA and visited this museum. This is an excellent museum with lots of historical exhibition to enjoy. Staff was certainly amicable and welcoming. I'd recommend this place for the family and teenagers with the right mindset.

I love it so much😍
I can upload more pictures, but no go and discover its beauty by yourselves.
What I liked more is the Ancient Egyptian civilization part. We studied this civilization at the University, so it is nice to see what aspects we studied in real life🥰 agents and workers there are super nice to international students and they speak English
Thank you❤

5 star experience in this eclectic museum that is a must see for anyone visiting the city of Debrecen. The building itself is gorgeous, there are exhibits here ranging from the Kurgan culture and Ancient Egypt to 19th century Hungarian painting like the brilliant large scale Munkacsy trilogy.

Some of the exhibits don't have any English explanations but all of the important items do and the entrance price is a mere pittance for what you get to explore

One of the main museums in the city center. The ticket purchased here will also include admission to another small museum a short walk away.

It was very interesting....I really enjoyed it.

Excellent exhibits! Educational and fun, you will be amazed, guaranteed!

Really nice museum. They embrace history, nature, and art very well :)

It was amazing! It has a little bit of everything. I think you would need around 3 hours and a bit more to see it all.

A great museum that includes a number of rooms each with different history and feeling. It is very well designed and moving from one room to the other makes you feel like you are time traveling, definitely a great experience especially for history lovers.

Beautiful Museum, if you are in Debrecen, you must visit it

Visited twice, and was really nice! Several rooms to know, great location, beautiful building! A lot of hungarian history and culture. Loved it!

Very kind staff, tickets purchased are valid for 30 days for multiple entrance. The museum collection is truly worth visiting, the Munkácsy trilogy is outstanding, a must see attraction.

There are many exhibitions. The museum is modern and the workers are helpful.

Incredible museum. Lots of fantastic exhibits. I recommend.

Small but very nice museum. Lovely museum building. Two original Egyptian mummies, a very nice Japanese exibition. Marvelous Munkachy triptich. It takes about two hours to see everything. The staff didn't speak English but everyone was very kind.
