MOLIN ROUGE
K
nown as the citadel of genteel revelry,
the Moulin Rouge opened its
doors to the general public in in 1922
on Nagymező Street in Budapest. The
special atmosphere of the club evokes
the mood of 20th century Paris, amalgamated
with elements consistent with
demands of the modern age. It was renovated
in 2000 according to the original
plans, thus preserving its enchanting atmosphere.
The candlesticks, the stucco,
the red velvet and every tiny detail of
the building speak of a thrilling world.
Simultaneously preserving the values
of the past as well moving on with the
spirit of the age, the Moulin Rouge provides
opportunities for amusement in
our days too, whether for discos, unique
events, or even a birthday party.
MAI MANÓ HOUSE
Imperial and royal court photographer Mai Manó
had this magnificent building constructed, and it
was completed in 1894. The building was later bought
by Sándor Rozsnyai and his wife, and they attached
a 3 storey Arizona club to it in the courtyard, which
was in operation until 1944. Following World War
II, the building was used by several people for various
purposes, then in 1996 the Hungarian Photography
Foundation began to buy up the tenancy rights from the
tenants and the Mai Manó Gallery was opened in 1995.
Later in 1999, the House of Hungarian Photographers
was opened on the 1st and 2nd floors of the building.
