Trip to Applied Arts Museum

First of all, i LOVE the design of the building. I think it's one of the heritage of hungary that they should preserve and be proud of as it is unique and one of its kind. The only disadvantage is its location where its surrounded by ugly communist-feeling buildings.

The exhibition inside was not as exciting as i expected. The concept may be interesting but it's not catching my attention to know more and be excited about it. I think the temporary japanese exhibition looks more interesting to me.

Great contrast between this museum and ethnographic museum i might say!

Trip to Ethnographic Museum

This is my first trip to the museum and i don't even know it's a museum!

I love the interior of the building, except it could be warmer. Probably they are not heating the place. And they need to do something with the dull atmosphere.

The temporary exhibition was really interesting except that it's confusing, for me. I didn't get the idea that the curator is trying to show in this exhibition. Some session looks better than the other but in the whole it's quite a well done exhibition.

I found the permanent exhibition to be more interesting even though it's so old, but thats the whole point; to make it old, feel, smell old. I think i learn more here than the temporary exhibition.
