About the experience
What can I expect from the event?
The Light Art Museum Budapest is a place for art experiments with light. The Light Art Museum is one of the first exhibition spaces in the world to specialise specifically in the collection, research and display of works of this character. It presents the results of research into the interaction of art, science and technology, and the most diverse fields of research into the creative use of light, in order to create a complex and varied field of interpretation. The works on display in the museum explore the boundaries between imagination and reality, revealing to visitors the aesthetic utopias of the use of light and the most innovative artistic possibilities of the medium.
