when:
Step into Ancient Egypt at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, where the Kezet rá! hands-on sessions return on February 25, 2026, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. In the Egyptian Secrets Chamber, trained volunteers guide visitors through millennia-old artifacts you can actually hold—bringing pharaonic-era stories off the plinth and into your hands. Location: 1146 Budapest, District 14 – Zugló, Dózsa György Road (Dózsa György út) 41.
The permanent Ancient Egypt exhibition blends striking displays with interactive tools, translating cutting-edge research into plain language without dumbing it down. Beyond the main galleries, the discovery room adds extra context, fresh finds, and tactile learning that turns passive viewing into active exploration.
Launched in 2010, Kezet rá! was Hungary’s first touch-based museum program and still sets the standard. This 2026 edition again opens curated trays of original objects—carefully supervised—to reveal craft, ritual, and daily life across thousands of years. It’s a rare, responsible chance to get close to the real thing, right in Budapest.
