HUNiverzum: 'Hungarians in Space' Exhibition Now Open in Budapest

• 15 May 2025 7:12 AM

Hungary is reaching for the stars – quite literally – as a Hungarian research astronaut prepares to conduct scientific work aboard the International Space Station starting this Monday.

This historic mission marks a major milestone, 45 years after Bertalan Farkas became the first Hungarian in space.

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó hailed the new launch as a “truly great national goal,” reinforcing Hungary’s place in the global space industry.

To celebrate, Budapest has opened a new interactive space exhibition - HUNiverzum – "Hungarians in Space" – at the Millenáris G building in Buda.

Open from 13 May to 31 October this year, the exhibition showcases Hungary’s past, present and future in space exploration.

Highlights include space simulators, 360° planetarium shows, original astronaut gear, and an engaging deep dive into astronaut Tibor Kapu’s upcoming mission.

Perfect for families and science lovers alike, the centre will host a special Children’s Day on 25 May with family-friendly activities.

Whether you're fascinated by space or just looking for something different to do in Budapest, this world-class space experience is out of this world.

Address:
1024 Budapest, Kis Rókus utca 16-20.
Entrance from Fény utca.
