Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts is rolling out adult-friendly, hands-on workshops that turn a museum visit into a slow, creative reset. Throughout fall and winter, you’ll wander the galleries, learn new techniques, then make something you’ll actually want to take home. Programs run at 1146 Budapest, Dózsa György Road (Dózsa György út) 41. Call for details and booking.
William Blake’s Studio Secrets

Ticket: $23.70, which includes entry to the exhibition The Marriage of Heaven and Hell – William Blake and His Contemporaries and a program pass. With this ticket, all museum exhibitions are accessible on the day of the program.
