On Saturday April 27, the Hungarian National Museum is organizing a family picnic “Children’s Paradise” in the Museum Garden, where the visitors can find out what secrets the site has been hiding for centuries, what children used to play with there 100 years ago.
The “Muzicska – 19th century playground” is open to children over five years old and their parents, who will be able to find out what children in Budapest used to play in the Museum Garden, the institution says in a statement. For the older children, there will be an enamel workshop where they can create unique jewellery. A separate ticket is required for the program, and it is worth booking your place early, the museum points out.
The “Garden Secrets” family treasure hunt is aimed at school-age children. This program will give participants the chance to discover the hidden corners of the garden, the secrets of the sculptures and a tour of the special places where centuries of events have taken place in the museum garden. A nostalgic 19th-century photo corner, entitled “Postcards from the Past,” will allow visitors to try on period costumes and experience the elegance of the era.
The “Mysterious Pest-Buda” program will offer a live museum investigation for children aged 12 and over, who can play the role of detective and investigate urban legends, secrets and mysteries.
There will also be an interactive game show with puzzles, board games and plush animals from 50-100 years ago.
The “Let’s go to the Muzi!” program will be a family walk and guided tour for children over six and their parents.
The family picnic will also include a board game corner with games developed by the museum itself, recalling the times and atmosphere of the 1848/49 Revolution and War of Independence. Families and children can also play a giant puzzle, a co-operative card game, a memory game and a special board game that allows them to become characters from the 19th century.
Some of the programs are subject to registration, so please visit the website of the Hungarian National Museum for details.
