He was born in Budapest, in Lipótváros, went to the Lutheran Grammar School in Városligeti Fasor and started university in Budapest – he and his family were attached to our capital by a thousand ties. On the 120th anniversary of his birth, a hundred selected artworks pay tribute to the life and work of the Hungarian genius. Reflecting on the challenges of the 21st century, the exhibition evokes von Neumann’s figure to today’s passers-by with modern-day tools and visuality.
Town hall park
Few things symbolise the identity of a municipality better than its town hall. It's no coincidence that almost every era has seen the redevelopment of Budapest's City Hall, with architects dreaming up new wings, a tower block that would transform the cityscape, or even a multi-storey underground car park - all in the spirit of the times.
