The Mika Tivadar Secret Museum, located in the heart of Budapest, is a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into the past. This museum not only tells the story of an old house that once belonged to a renowned copper and metal goods manufacturer but also evokes the everyday existence of the Kazinczy Street area during the 1920s.
In this very neighbourhood, you'll stumble upon some remarkable landmarks. Among them is Europe's most celebrated nightclub, the Blue Cat, and Hungary's pioneering cinema. This cinema holds a special place in film history as it was here that Michael Curtiz, the Oscar-winning director of 'Casablanca', kick-started his career.
Moreover, you'll discover the link between two American actors - Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger - and a tiny house on Kazinczy Street, adding another layer of intrigue to this fascinating area.
This immersive experience reveals valuable historical moments and connections that have shaped the present.
