Budapest Exhibition Hall

Description:

• To the right of Heroes Square, the impressive beauty of the Exhibition Hall (Múcsarnok) will most certainly capture your attention. Aside from the complementary architecture of the Fine Arts Museum, its most striking feature is the tympanum above the columns with a relief portraying the Temple of Zeus displaying a fight between Centaurs and Lapiths. The Exhibit Hall does not contain any permanent art collections, but is the venue for rotating contemporary exhibitions that are on display from weeks to months at a time. Signs posted on the outside will alert you to the current offering. However, just savoring the Exhibit Hall building as a piece of art unto itself is enough for some.
