About Millenium Háza
The Millennium House in Budapest's City Park is an imposing Neo-Renaissance exhibition building. Originally erected for the National Exhibition of 1885, it was once considered one of the most beautiful buildings of the show, adorned with numerous Zsolnay ceramics. However, because it was too small, it was soon converted into a city museum. During World War II, it served as a military hospital and suffered severe bomb damage that destroyed the interior decoration. After a comprehensive reconstruction between 2017 and 2019, during which the interior rooms and the ceiling were completely renewed, the building is once again available as an exhibition space. Here you can take in cultural events and linger in the on-site café.

Built in 1885 in Neo-Renaissance style. It was built for the Hall of Art, designed by Ferenc Pfaff. It soon became obvious that the building was not suitable for that, because it was not large enough, and it was far from the main roads. Renovated in 2019. There is a cafe and an exhibition about the history of City Park.
