196536_00.jpg The capital launched a housing construction program during a crisis in the 1920s During the period of dualism in Budapest, most residential buildings were built by private investors, as there was a huge demand for them at that time: large crowds moved to the capital. The trend continued even after World War I, but at that time the economic environment was not nearly as favourable, so the capital itself launched a small flat construction program. Several buildings were completed by November-December 1926, the first residents moved in ninety-six years ago.
The Medgyaszay Hall in the Opera House building was inaugurated A new event space of 430 square metres was handed over in the building of the Opera House. The Medgyaszay Hall, which can accommodate 100 people, can also be home to song evenings, exhibitions, chamber concerts, youth programs, choir and children's choir rehearsals.
It could have been like that - A hundred-year-old plan for the Museum of Ethnography The new building of the Museum of Ethnography in the Városliget was ceremoniously handed over on Sunday. It is the first headquarters of the institution that was built for museum purposes during its hundred and fifty years of existence, although plans have been made for it earlier. Nearly a hundred years ago, in 1923, a tender was held for which various plans were submitted.
