“Recolor It!” January Sessions
Recolor It! – museum workshop for kids runs January 14, 21, and 28, 2026, 4:00–5:30 p.m. at 2 Szent György Square. This time, the Gallery’s spaces hum with mystery, so only the sharpest young sleuths will do. Together, kids track a great painter, uncovering the secrets of Lajos Tihanyi. Dozens of his works get a close look as participants hunt for every hidden detail that matters. If they’re quick, the puzzle clicks into place and the case cracks. Creation stays center stage: as part of the detective work, they “forge” paintings, craft a composite portrait, and experiment with photo manipulation.
