A private collector, Lajos Ernst, a well-known figure of Budapest society, founded the Ernst Museum in 1912 at the time, with the aim of making his artistic and historic collection accessible to the general public. The institute was founded as a result of this intention to patronise the arts and, during the last century, it became one of the most significant exhibition spaces for 20th century Hungarian visual arts.

The aim of the Ernst Museum is to be a memorial to Lajos Ernst, its founder, not just in name but also in the traditions he established.
