The theatre on Sándor Hevesi Tér was built in 1964−66 to the plans of Sándor Azbeja, replacing earlier theatres that had stood on the site since 1897.

The theatre was the home of The National Theatre until September 2000, when the construction of the new National Theatre was started on the banks of the River Danube. From 2000 onwards the venue has been working as Pesti Magyar Színház and later as Magyar Színház.

The striking modernist facade was the work of sculptor Gyula Illyés. It is a relief made of 757 pieces of Zsolnay pyrogranites (a type of ornamental ceramic). Depicting many indistinctive tiny figures, it which creates a vibrant composition of monumental folds and creases.
