Sports and Architecture
This year's theme of the Night of Museums is "Assists" in view of the ongoing European Football Championship. Reflecting on the topic, in addition to our ongoing exhibitions in the Makovecz Centre and Archives, we are preparing a small selection of photos, in which, moving away from football, we usually explore the topic of sports.
Imre Makovecz was not far from sports, he was an active sportsman at grammar school, played first division handball and won the Hungarian national league title. He gave up top level sports after starting university, but continued for fun in the lower leagues for several years.
As an architect, he also had many sports-related assignments - swimming pools, sports halls, football stadium. In our projected photo selection, we present these buildings and designs.
