Monthly Museum + at the Museum of Fine Arts

Each month there is a special evening at the Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest with a theme of the month. In December, not so surprisingly, the theme of the “Museum+ evening” is Christmas. Besides the excellent wines and jazz concerts, you can enjoy a late night visit to the Museum of Fine Arts, a special tour and topics for discussion related to Xmas.

The series of events is all year round.
