Budapest’s Museum of Ethnography is currently hosting a compelling exploration of Japanese visual culture, centering on the works of the legendary Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849).
Inaugurated in 2005, the memorial created by film director Can Togay and sculptor Gyula Pauer stands as a stark reminder of the Arrow Cross terror of 1944–45. During this period, Jewish victims were forced to remove their shoes before being shot into the river.
A vibrant wave of green swept through Budapest as Szabadság tér came alive with the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day. The city centre square buzzed with energy, hosting a full day of music, dance, family-friendly activities, and a lively parade that drew crowds to celebrate Irish culture in the heart of the capital.
The Museum of Ethnography won the MagyarBrands award in the Innovative Brand category again in 2025, proving that it operates as a truly pioneering cultural institution by combining tradition with state-of-the-art solutions.
