The long-running National Gallery hit now arrives at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, inviting visitors aged 60+ to slow down, look closer, and make something by hand. Once a month, seniors get an interactive themed tour in the galleries, followed by a relaxed workshop where everyone creates together. The ticket covers everything, so you just show up, join a small group, and dive in.
Mental Fitness – Under the Light of the Star of Bethlehem
December wraps the museum’s Nativity altarpieces in a special hush, and that’s exactly where the first session leads. Mental Fitness – Under the Light of the Star of Bethlehem runs on December 17, 2025, 10:30–12:00. The tour explores how artists told the story of Jesus’s birth and invites guests to try viewing these works as medieval worshippers once did—more slowly, more contemplatively, more personally. It ends with a short, festive-themed craft in the workshop. Group size is capped at 12, the session lasts 2 hours, and the price is 5.56 USD per person (admission included).
Touch, Ask, Make: Vases and the Classical World
Each monthly tour brings hands-on moments too, with touchable objects anchoring conversations about how ancient Greek and Roman vases were made, what they were used for, and what they reveal about everyday habits, rituals, and holidays. Two centuries ago, one vase even inspired an ode—proof these humble forms still spark fascination. After the gallery walk, guests head to the studio to create.
Mental Fitness – Books and Bookworms in Art
The winter-perfect follow‑up arrives January 21, 2026, 10:30–12:30. With books warming sofas and canvases alike, this tour hunts down volumes across eras to see how artists turned reading into an image of learning, pleasure, and power. Then it’s back to the workshop to make your own piece. Max group size is 15, duration 2 hours, price 5.56 USD per person (admission included).
