Just gone fest­iv­alling

Nyári szünet miatt az intézmény 2025. július 28. és augusztus 18. között zárva tart, ebben az időszakban az épület látogatása szünetel, a kiállításaink nem elérhetőek és személyes jegyvásárlásra sincsen lehetőség. A Házban működő Vigadó Bisztró is zárva lesz – a látogatók sem kávézni, sem ebédelni nem tudnak majd a megszokott helyszínen.
