The Budapest Gallery will participate again this year in the second edition of Óbuda Culture, an event organised by the cultural venues of Óbuda. The Budapest Gallery will be open until midnight on this day, and in addition to guided tours, the Gallery also offers a history walk.

Please note that all of the programs are in Hungarian.

17:00-18:30 History walk with Péter Schmidt - Óbuda: from Queens' Town to the Krúdy Quarter
The route combines chronology and local history. Accordingly, the starting point is the Lajos Street building of the Budapest Gallery, the oldest and only surviving medieval house in Óbuda. From here the route continues to the two most important medieval and baroque buildings. The Medieval period focuses on the founder of Óbuda, Queen Elisabeth Łokietek of Hungary, and the Baroque period on the then landlords, the Zichy family. The tour concludes with a subjective guided tour of Óbuda hospitality.

19:00-19:45 Guided tour with Eszter Dalma Kollár, curator of the exhibition 'Microtomy'
Exhibiting artists: Attila Bagi, Dániel Bernáth, Dejan Dukic, Rita Koszorús 
The concept of microtomy, the title of the international group exhibition at the Budapest Gallery, comes from the natural sciences. It refers to the process by which experts cut a nanometre-thick slice of the material to be studied - be it rock, animal, plant or human tissue - and study its properties under a microscope. The artists in the Microtomy exhibition are engaged in a similar material-centred investigation.

20:00-20:45 Guided tour with curator Flóra Gadó at the exhibition 'Inventory of Forgotten Knowledge'
Exhibiting artists: Petra Feriancová, Camille Henrot, Tamás Kaszás, Joanna Rajkowska, Dominika Trapp, Ádám Ulbert
The knowledge offered by natural science collections can be of many kinds. As much as we think of them as objective and exact, removed from personal interpretation, we know how many beliefs and misunderstandings, economic and political intentions shape them, and how much diverse and sometimes contradictory knowledge can be read from a collection - and how much remains hidden. The exhibition is made up of research materials and collections of natural science, or what appear to be such, presented or initiated by contemporary artists, which seek to discover or create some forgotten or lost knowledge.
