As Europe’s leading centre for circus arts, Hungary is hosting the world’s first scientific conference on circus buildings. A model of the National Circus Arts Centre building was also presented at the conference.
Between 12 and 17 January, the XIV. Budapest International Circus Festival takes place at the Budapest Grand Circus. As an overture, organisers held a scientific and professional conference on circus buildings at the Museum of Fine Arts on Wednesday. Several foreign circus arts experts took part in the conference.
The conference and the exhibition
As PestBuda reported, participants had the chance to learn about the history of circus buildings in Europe. What is more, organisers opened an exhibition in the Baroque Hall of the Museum of Fine Arts to mark the occasion.
