Umbrella Man on top of Budapest
At the highest point of Buda Palace, home to the Supervisory Centre and Money Museum of the National Bank of Hungary (Magyar Nemzeti Bank, MNB), the silhouette of an unfamiliar face, the Umbrella Man, was seen, Economx writes.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Hungarian National Bank. The centenary celebrations have inspired artists, including the Hungarian stuntman known as the Umbrella Man, who teamed up with photographer Péter Kálló to create this pre-planned project.
The Umbrella Man most recently appeared on the roof of the Puskás Arena, but he has also appeared on the Fire Tower in Sopron, the Liberty Bridge, the Budapest Eye, the Gömbkilátó in Balatonboglár, the top of the St. Gallért statue, and the highest point of the Kelenföld Power Plant.
