The founder of the Op Art (Optical Art) movement, Victor Vasarely was born in Pécs in 1908. At 24 he moved to France, where he spent the rest of his career.
In 1968 he donated a trove of serigraph prints, sculptures and tapestries to his home city.
These were put on public display in 1976 and sum up the progress of his career, from his early Bauhaus serigraphs to the mind-bending and kinetic geometric shapes and illusions that made him famous in the 50s and 60s.
