This is the facade of Kogart in Budapest, a villa with interior spaces by Ignác Alpar and architect István Pucher. The building was built by Ferenc József Landauer burgess of Pest as a summer residence at the end of the 1800s. Nowadays it aims to encourage broader participation in social causes by the private sector and to establish a new model for art patronage, especially for fine arts and promoting talented young artists.

sounds interesting I am going to try it out next year. Its funny when I was in Budapest I spent a great deal of time in this area and still never explored it all that much. Its like the Transportation Museum near Varosliget. I always wanted to go there but could never find it even though I walked through Varosliget many times.
yes, Richard, you should :)
