The creators will use 500,000 colorful, environmentally friendly, special balloons to bring the world’s iconic buildings and landmarks to Budapest.

“The exhibition will be both an art sensation and a real public production. The world has never seen a balloon exhibition of this size and quality. As well as entertaining adult visitors, we are also thinking about the needs of families, as the 4,000 square meter exhibition includes a 1,000 square meter fun zone where children can experiment with balloons and unleash their creative energy,” stressed Verhoef, the exhibition’s artistic director and renowned balloon sculptor.
