In this section I show you the hidden face of Budapest. I walk every day, never take public transport, I watch and take some photos. I love this city and hope you will like it too! Frequent update!

The Seuso-treasures return home! It was a long international litigation, because the treasures originated from Hungary, and because of art treasure trade (legitimate or not) it all ended abroad. So the Hungaian government brought it back, and for the celebration all the treasures were exhibitied in the Hungarian Parliament. That building is so imposant, looks great outside – but inside: georgeus! I wanted to see the exhibition, so we went there and waited hours to get in. I was worth waiting and watching, because it is breathtaking! No pictures can give back the splendid colors, the lights of the silver and gold artifacts.

Nothing better conveys the mood of turn-of-the-century Budapest than the art works of a versatile mediumthat was very popular at the time: the posters. Art posters make up a kind of illustrated history book, giving us a glimpse of an exciting period of Hungary’s past and the development of its industry, politics and culture. The Várkert Bazaar exhibition evokes the advertising columns and boards of the first of the 20th century through the posters of a legendary exponent of applied graphics, Géza Faragó. Although Faragó was also known as a painter, caricaturist and designer of sets and costumes for the theatre, he is most remembered for his posters. With unique imagery and often highly individual humor, his works make stirring allusions of the night life in the triangle of Bajcsy-Zsilinszky Road, Teréz Boulevard and Király Street, where the artist was a habitué and which provided much of his inspirations.
