Balna Budapest cultural centre opens on the Pest embankment

Bálna Budapest (Whale) just opened close to the Great Market Hall on the Pest side. A three-day series of programs are available now.

The Bálna Budapest built in the shape of a whale. The building, designed by the Dutch architect Kaas Oosterhuis, should have opened by August 2010, but the contractor left it in a half-finished state and failed to pay his subcontractors.
