"In a city like Budapest you can witness anything from the plain hilarious to the weird and macabre in a matter of minutes on the same street" - that is how Marcus Goldston, the artist who moved to Budapest 20 years ago from the UK, explains the idea of his new exhibition called Budapest Safari. The watercolors and prints presented at the exhibition, humorous or grotesque, are all about the streets and situations which are so familiar to many of us.

Carnival Time!
Farsang - the carnival season - has started in Hungary. One of the most interesting events of the carnival season is the Buso festival (Busójárás) in the town of Mohács. Buso is a traditional mask worn during the carnival; according to a local legend, during the Ottoman times these masks helped the population of Mohács to chase Turkish troops from their territory. The festival will include food-tasting, dancing, concerts, performances, and, of course, the colorful and noisy Buso procession. It's a great opportunity to see more of Hungary and to have fun at the same time.
When: February 17, 2015
Where: main street of Mohács (Baranya county, close to the border with Croatia).
