Budapest, Hungary: Museum of Fine Arts

You can't say Hungary isn't well stocked with art museums. This one has as grand an entrance as it gets.

It's the Museum of Fine Arts, located on Heroes Square. Construction took place in the six years leading up to 1906. Don't look for Hungarian work here; this concentrates on all of Europe. There are 100,000 pieces in the collection.

For what it's worth, this has the second largest collection of Egyptian art in central Europe. The old masters are well represented here with paintings, and a sculpture by da Vinci highlights that particularly area. Some drawings round out the collection.
