Outstanding Hungarian contributions to mathematics, aeronautics and space exploration and the Bolyai geometry, come to life before our eyes, with a VR (virtual reality) experience and 360-degree dome projection. Take a walk on Mars!

Spirit of place / Knowledge base

The history of the Ganz factory and its impact on Bel-Buda. The figure of the “greatest Hungarian”, István Széchenyi, evoked with multimedia tools, as an influencer: his reform aspirations, his will to do, his economic and intellectual achievements. Scientific hall of fame and knowledge repository: a giant LED wall with photos of the scientists appearing in the exhibition, with search and filtering options according to fields of science and awards. What did they discover, when did they live, what can you learn about them?

For travel to the exhibition, MÁV provides a 100% discount for groups and a 50% discount for individual visitors. The railway discounts are valid on both MÁV-START Zrt. and GYSEV Zrt. lines.
