The stylish Museum of Contemporary Art ( Kortars Muveszti Muzeum ; Tues-Sun 10am-6pm; 400Ft) is a joint venture by the Ministry of Culture and corporate sponsors, established in 1996 to build upon an earlier bequest by the late German industrialist Peter Ludwig, in the year of Hungary's transition to democracy. Before then, Wing A of the palace had contained the Museum of the Working Class Movement, whose staff made amends for decades of misinformation by organizing an exhibition on the Stalinist era before moving out - hence the lavish use of red marble in the atrium. The Ludwig Collection includes US pop art such as Warhol's Single Elvis and Lichtenstein's Vicky , Picasso's Musketeer with a Sword and a felt-and-fat Sealed Letter by Beuys, but most of the recent acquisitions are work by lesser-known Europeans, in veins from Hyper-Realism to neo-Primitivism. The museum has a pleasant cafe with a view of the Buda Hills.
