Nestled in the elegant former Hrabéczy villa at Holló László sétány 8 in Debrecen, the Holló László Memorial Museum serves as a heartfelt tribute to the life and art of one of Hungary’s most expressive painters, László Holló (1887–1976). Established in 1978 by the caretakers of his legacy and later entrusted to the city while remaining under the care of the esteemed Déri Museum, the museum invites visitors into an immersive experience where art and ambience align in perfect harmony.

Within its atmospheric walls, visitors discover Holló’s compelling oeuvre: dramatic, dynamic creations where light and dark intertwine with masterful brushwork, and his extraordinary series of self‑portraits stands as a singular achievement in Hungarian art history. Shortly before his passing, Holló added vibrancy to his work—returning to still lifes and landscapes with renewed warmth and sensitivity.

In one specially curated room, the museum presents the paintings of Ernő Hrabéczy, Holló’s brother-in-law—works characterized by dark tonalities and elongated, subtly grotesque figures that provide a compelling counterpoint to Holló’s expressive intensity.

Set on nearly a hectare, the villa’s grounds unfold into a serene sculpture garden, where visitors can stroll amid evocative works—including a portrait relief of Holló and the elegant “Nelli” statue by Medgyessy Ferenc—enhancing the museum’s reflective ambiance.

Open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, the museum welcomes art lovers to explore its rich collections in a peaceful, thoughtfully restored setting.

Whether drawn by evocative portraits, expressive landscapes, or the quiet charm of a villa‑turned‑museum and its sculpture garden, visitors to the Holló László Memorial Museum will leave enriched by a deeply human, distinctly Hungarian artistic legacy.
