Invitation: Fancy Dress Party @ Museum Of Fine Arts Budapest, 15 February
Compelling setting, amazingly large spaces, modern music and reminiscing about an era that has passed long ago? No, we’re not talking about the Romeo & Juliet remake of the 90s or Baz Luhrmann’s Gatsby Movie, this is the Museum of Fine Arts’ new initiative, a party on the very last night before the Museum’s exquisite baroque-rococo exhibition ‘Caravaggio to Canaletto’ closes for good.

Of course a tiny effort is required of guests of the party, namely to stick to the ‘Baroque á la carte’ dress-code, but it’s really nothing a bit of creativity cannot resolve. They are expected to personalize the ‘Baroque’ feeling, to mix the signature elements of the era with the 21st century look and to accessorize as the organizers are well aware that art history is way more fun when you are wearing it.

This era is scenic, spectacular, with endless lavish possibilities – its topicality makes Baroque a wonderful theme for a fancy dress party. As for the costume and accessory availability: the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Last fall all the most remarkable luxury fashion houses fell in love once again with the Baroque era, and this miraculous rediscovery brought back the velvety jackets, the ruffled shirts, heavy necklaces and giant brooches to the shelves of the stores. Not to mention the comeback of pale white skin.

The rest is up to courage, creativity and personal taste.

Have you ever dreamed of walking the vast marble halls of our museum hiding your face coyly behind feather fans or mask? Does it feel like time traveling? Is it playful magic? A party peculiarity?

We’ll figure out on the 15th of February!

Baroque - Fancy Dress Party at the Museum of Fine Arts Budapest
Date and time: 15 February 9 PM – 2 AM

The guests of the party get the chance to visit the Caravaggio to Canaletto exhibition on its very last night.
