Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest

The permanent collection runs from Egypt and classical antiquity through European and Hungarian art to the end of the 18th century. For families, the museum rents an interactive travel-suitcase game for the permanent galleries; rentals stop well before closing time, so pick one up early in the visit. Strollers can be borrowed free of charge for the smallest children. The café and restaurant sit inside the ticketed area, so a break is part of the visit rather than something to do before going in. A temporary-exhibition ticket also covers the permanent galleries that are open the same day. The catch: bags and backpacks above a fairly small size are not allowed in the exhibitions, so a day bag for the kids usually goes into a locker first.
