Kiscelli Carnival 2023
Reminisce the Kádár era, dress up as a neon sign, an articulated bus, a blue Trabant, a nodding dog or even a Kádár cube - the point is to recognise the inspirations behind the costume: The works of painter István Mácsai and the characters of the VAU! exhibition presenting the cultural history of dog ownership in Budapest! During the evening, a jury of experts and the audience will judge the costumes, and prizes will be awarded to the most imaginative ones!

Kiscelli Museum
The Kiscelli Museum and its 15 hectares of parkland are located in the 3rd district of Budapest, between Óbuda and Remetehegy. The 18th century Baroque church and Trinitarian monastery, built by the Zichy family, was used as a barracks by the army in the 19th century. In 1910 it became the property of furniture manufacturer Miksa Schmidt, who later had it converted into a castle, hence the name Schmidt Castle. It is now home to the Budapest History Museum's collection of Modern Urban History and the Budapest City Gallery, the fine arts collection.
