Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely established this foundation in 1966 with the aim of promoting 'art for all' where art blends beautifully with architecture in the 'city of tomorrow'.

The building is constructed from 14 hexagons in black and white, making it a most distinctive building. Inside you'll find colourful installations featuring abstract works that challenge the visitor with optical illusions and unusual perspectives.

There are guided tours for individuals and groups and workshops and activities for school children throughout the year.
