Kick off the evening with us. Bring your date here, discover the revamped collections and charge yourselves up with new experiences.

The events can be visited with a valid museum admission ticket or with a Museum+ ticket.

At our next, October Museum+ evening visitors will have the opportunity to view the permanent collection and also our new temporary, chamber exhibition Rembrandt and His Pupils. Drawings and Etchings from the Collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest without the need to purchase a separate ticket. During the Museum+ evening tickets can be bought in the museum for the Rembrandt exhibition in the ticket offices too.

TAPAS AND WINE VARIATIONS from the Fine Art Bistro

LOUNGE BAR –Selector Emka

Selector Emka is the resident DJ of Jazzy Radio. She finished in the TOP 10 at the 2012 MR2 – Petőfi Radio and the 2015 VIVA Millersoundclash DJ competitions. 
She uses virtually all styles of music in her meshups and bootlegs but with a twist! She mixes Michael Jackson with twist, Avicii with rockabilly, and swing with hip-hop, while she layers the lyrics of old hits over the instrumental of new songs – or the other way round, the way the crowd wants it.
Anyone joining her party is in for a happy journey through music.
Venue: Marble Hall

ART BONBON
Classical and contemporary reflections – music, dance, poetry and improvisation in the collections
Strange things happen in a gallery at night. Have you ever felt that an enticing melody, a poem or a movement would be a perfect match for a work of art as it would convey the sensation, the moment, the fleeting magic you experience when looking at it? This evening interesting melodies, well-known poems and movements will accompany the artworks in the museum’s galleries, infusing them with new colour and life.
Dance: Patrik Keresztes, Tímea Keresztes
