The Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, New Jersey, US, opened a Rubik’s Cube exhibition named Beyond Rubik’s Cube in April 2014. It remained there until November 2014, and then became a traveling exhibition (schedule available).
Google collaborated with the museum in the exhibition’s design. Among other things it includes a 10-foot (3 meter) tall Rubik’s Cube that you can solve with your smartphone. It also includes the original prototype Rubik’s Cube.
Beyond Rubik’s Cube features dozens of Ernő Rubik’s early puzzles, including the original Rubik’s Cube prototype. This is the first public display of these puzzles.
Ernő Rubik did an interview with the AP which references this exhibit. There is also a nice video review of the exhibit from a Rubik’s Cube fan.
Next year they’ll start building a Rubik’s Cube shaped museum that might open for the public in 2017 🙂

Have you had a look at the Iparművészeti Múzeum (sorry, no english page…)? According to http://budapestinterim.blogspot.com, there is (or was) an exhibition about Rubik cubes…
They have a page about new acquisitions they made in 2009 which very briefly mentions “a Rubik’s collection”.
