Thematic guided tour by Zsolt Mészáros
Schedule
The exhibition traces the evolution and impact of the modern male fashion. What principles and practices characterised the way men dressed, which pieces and solutions were transferred from their wardrobe to women's, and what all this tells us about the changing everyday life and socio-cultural life of Budapest.
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.
