Budapest’s Hungarian National Gallery opens its doors to school-age explorers with playful guided tours, monthly creative workshops, and clubs inspired by fairy tales, drama, animation, and nature. Beyond sharing knowledge, museum educators aim for hands-on, memorable experiences. On request, exhibition visits can lead into studio sessions where kids practice manual techniques and dive deeper into the theme in fresh, inventive ways. Date: 2026.01.21 (Wednesday). Venue: 1014 Budapest, Szent György Square (Szent György tér) 2.
Re-Color It! Kids’ Museum Workshop
January 21, 2026, 16:00–17:30, and January 28, 2026, 16:00–17:30. January’s Re-Color It! club turns the Gallery into a mystery scene, calling the sharpest little detectives. The mission: follow a great painter and crack the secrets of Lajos Tihanyi. Kids comb through dozens of his works, hunting for hidden details that matter. If they’re clever, the puzzle resolves and the story clicks into place. The sleuthing pairs with making: they “forge” paintings, build a composite sketch, and experiment with photo manipulation. Children join independently, without caregivers. After the program, staff escort the group back to the information desk between 17:30 and 17:40. Meeting point: information desk. Ages: 6–12. Max group: 15. Fee: $6.80. The Creative Studio announces new themes monthly with a different program each time. Sessions are standalone—join any date without missing steps.
